Structural studies on the murine Ia alloantigens. V. Evidence that the structural gene for the I-E/C beta polypeptide is encoded within the I- A subregion

چکیده
The E/C alpha- and beta-subunits of intra-I-region recombinants were analyzed for primary structural variation by comparative tryptic peptide mapping. The E/C alpha-polypeptides from B10.A, B10.A (3R) and B10.A (5R) showed complete coincident elution of peptides; the E/C beta-chains from B10.A and 3R (or 5R) were approximately 40% different. This suggests that the structural gene for the E/C beta-polypeptide is within the I-A subregion.

Brief DeHnitive Report
The I region of the murine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) encodes a group of membrane alloantigens (Ia antigens) which appear intimately associated with immune response (Ir) genes mapped to this region (1, 2). Although five I subregions have been defined by serological and functional analysis (3), Ia antigens have been demonstrated by immunoprecipitation techniques for only the A and E ...
متن کاملStructure of murine Ia antigens: partial NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of products of the I-E or I-C subregion.
Partial amino acid sequence of the Ia molecule encoded by the I-E or I-C (I-EC) subregion of the major histocompatibility complex of the mouse are presented. The Ia molecule appears to be comprised of two noncovalently associated polypeptides. The larger subunit, alpha, has an approximate molecular weight of 35,000 and the smaller subunit, beta, an approximate molecular weight of 28,000. Severa...
متن کامل1462 Analysis of a Human I - a Homologue
Cells of the immune system interact with each other or with specific antigen in the context of molecules controlled by the human H L A D / D R region (1-3). For example, H L A D / D R region-encoded molecules regulate immune responsiveness by acting as restriction elements in the proliferative responses of T lymphocytes to antigens (3) or by serving as target antigens for alloreactive T cell ki...
متن کاملBrief Det~nitive Report Intragenic Recombination in an Ea Gene for a Murine Ia Antigen*
T he plasma membranelocated murine Ia antigens consist of two polymorphic chains: the larger chain, designated a, is ~35,000 mol wt, whereas the smaller chain, designated fi, is ~28,000 mol wt (1). Whereas the I-A antigens are encoded by genes (Aa and AO) located within the I-A subregion, the I-E antigens are encoded by one gene (E~) located in the I-E subregion and a second (Ep or A,) 1 in the...
متن کاملTwo-gene control of the expression of a murine Ia antigen
Two dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of Non-Idet P-40 extracts and of specific Ia immunoprecipitates from [35S]methionine-labeled mouse spleen lymphocytes has revealed that the cell surface expression of some Ia antigens appears to be controlled by two genes. One locus, which maps in the I-A subregion, is probably the structural gene for an Ia polypeptide chain. The second locus,...
