The complete cDNA and amino acid sequence of bovine fetuin. Its homology with alpha 2HS glycoprotein and relation to other members of the cystatin superfamily.
The cDNA sequence encoding the bovine fetal protein fetuin is reported. The deduced amino acid sequence is identical with that obtained from amino acid sequencing. The protein is a single chain preceded by a signal sequence. The three N-linked glycosylation sites have been determined. The sequence of fetuin shows over 70% similarity to human alpha 2HS glycoprotein. All of the cysteine residues ...
متن کاملCloning, Primary Structure, and Relation to the Integrins, Von Willebrand Factor
Mac-1 (CD llb/CD18) is a leukocyte adhesion heterodimeric glycoprotein which functions both as a receptor for iC3b (CR3) and in several cell-cell and cell-substrate adhesive interactions. We describe fulllength cDNA clones for the a subunit of Mac1. Mac-1 a subunit message was detected in blood monocytes and phorbol12-myristate acetate-induced myeloid cell lines, but not in cells of the T or B ...
متن کاملStructure of the chicken neuron-glia cell adhesion molecule, Ng-CAM: origin of the polypeptides and relation to the Ig superfamily
The neuron-glia cell adhesion molecule (Ng-CAM) mediates both neuron-neuron and neuron-glia adhesion; it is detected on SDS-PAGE as a predominant 135-kD glycoprotein, with minor components of 80, 190, and 210 kD. We have isolated cDNA clones encoding the entire sequence of chicken Ng-CAM. The predicted extracellular region includes six immunoglobulin-like domains followed by five fibronectin-ty...
متن کاملMolecular organization of Junin virus S RNA: complete nucleotide sequence, relationship with other members of the Arenaviridae and unusual secondary structures.
In this study, overlapping cDNA clones covering the entire S RNA molecule of Junin virus, an arenavirus that causes Argentine haemorrhagic fever, were generated. The complete sequence of this 3400 nucleotide RNA was determined using the dideoxynucleotide chain termination method. The nucleocapsid protein (N) and the glycoprotein precursor (GPC) genes were identified as two non-overlapping open ...

The lymphocyte function-associated 1 (LFA-1), ~ Mac-l, and p150,95 molecules constitute a family of structurally and functionally related, high molecular weight, human leukocyte surface glycoproteins (1). Each molecule contains an a and a 3 subunit noncovalently associated in an al31 structure. The 3 subunits of Mr 95,000 in each of these three molecules are identical. The molecules are disting...
