Mining New Motifs from Cdna Sequence Data
General biological databases that store basic information on genome, transcriptome, and proteome are indispensable sequence discovery resources. However, they are not necessarily useful for inferring functions of proteins. To see this, we observe that SWISS-PROT —a protein knowledgebase containing curated protein sequences and functional information on domains and diseases—has grown a mere 26-f...
متن کاملSequence of a cDNA coding for bovine pancreatic phospholipase A2.
Phospholipaae A2 (PLA2) from pancreas has the following interesting features. The enzyme preferably acts on aggregated phospholipid micell-like structures, requires Ca + + for its activity, and is produced as a zymogen (1). To elucidate the relationship between these features and the structure of this enzyme, the gene encoding it and the expression system will be a useful tool. We have isolated...
متن کاملThe complete cDNA sequence of bovine coagulation factor V.
Lack of availability of a primary structure for bovine factor V has hindered detailed analysis of a vast majority of structure-function correlations on this molecule. To determine the primary structure of bovine factor V, we used liver mRNA as a template for the synthesis of three cDNA libraries. The sequences of seven overlapping cDNA clones infer two bovine factor V variants. Variant 1 result...
متن کاملAmino acid and cDNA sequence of bovine phosducin, a soluble phosphoprotein from photoreceptor cells.
Vertebrate photoreceptor cells contain a soluble phosphoprotein, phosducin, which complexes with the beta, gamma subunits of the GTP-binding protein, transducin. Light-induced changes in cyclic nucleotide levels modulate the phosphorylation of phosducin by protein kinase A. The complete amino acid sequence of purified phosducin from bovine retinas was determined by Edman degradation from overla...
متن کاملExpression of a functional human insulin receptor from a cloned cDNA in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
We have placed human insulin receptor cDNA into a vector under the control of the simian virus 40 (SV40) early promoter and tested its function by transient expression in microinjected Xenopus oocytes and by expression in stably transformed CHO cells. The precursor and the alpha and beta subunits of the receptor were detected by immunoprecipitation from extracts of these cells. The human insuli...
