Recently we reported the sequence of a cDNA clone (pUOX-1), isolated from a lambda gt11 cDNA library, which encoded for rat liver urate oxidase (EC 1.7.3.3), but this clone lacked the nucleotide sequences encoding the N-terminal region for this enzyme. Using the cDNA insert from the pUOX-1 clone as a probe, we have now isolated a full length cDNA clone, pUOX-2, from a lambda gt10 library by plaque hybridization. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the pUOX-2 clone showed that it has 1379 base pairs with an open reading frame coding for 303 amino acid residues corresponding to a molecular mass of 34,931 daltons. In addition to the open reading frame the pUOX-2 contains 439 bp of 3'-untranslated and 41 bp of 5'-untranslated sequences. The consensus polyadenylation signal AATAAA precedes a stretch of poly(A)+ residues at the 3' end.
最近我们报道了从λgt11 cDNA文库中分离出的一个cDNA克隆(pUOX - 1)的序列,它编码大鼠肝脏尿酸氧化酶(EC 1.7.3.3),但这个克隆缺少该酶N端区域的编码核苷酸序列。利用pUOX - 1克隆的cDNA插入片段作为探针,我们现在通过噬菌斑杂交从λgt10文库中分离出了一个全长cDNA克隆pUOX - 2。对pUOX - 2克隆的核苷酸序列分析表明,它有1379个碱基对,一个开放阅读框编码303个氨基酸残基,对应分子量为34931道尔顿。除了开放阅读框外,pUOX - 2还包含439 bp的3'非翻译序列和41 bp的5'非翻译序列。在3'端,共有多聚腺苷酸化信号AATAAA位于一段多聚(A)+残基之前。
