Two distinct but distantly related complementary DNAs encoding proteins sharing human interleukin-1 (IL-1) activity (termed IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta), were isolated from a macrophage cDNA library. The primary translation products of the genes are 271 and 269 amino acids long, although expression in Escherichia coli of the carboxy-terminal 159 and 153 amino acids produces IL-1 biological activity.
从巨噬细胞cDNA文库中分离出了两个不同但关系较远的互补DNA,它们编码的蛋白质具有人白细胞介素-1(IL-1)活性(分别称为IL-1α和IL-1β)。这些基因的初级翻译产物分别长271和269个氨基酸,不过在大肠杆菌中表达羧基末端的159和153个氨基酸时可产生IL-1生物活性。
