Previously, we demonstrated induction of a unique macrophage prothrombinase during infection of BALB/cJ mice by mouse hepatitis virus strain 3 (MHV-3). By immunologic screening, a clone representing this prothrombinase was isolated from a cDNA library and sequenced. The sequence identified this clone as representing part of a gene, musfiblp, that encodes a fibrinogen-like protein. Six additional clones were isolated, and one clone, p11-3-1, encompassed the entire coding region of musfiblp. Murine macrophages did not constitutively express musfiblp but, when infected with MHV-3, synthesized musfiblp-specific mRNA. musfiblp mRNA induction was earlier and significantly greater in BALB/cJ than A/J macrophages. Prothrombinase activity was demonstrated when musfiblp was expressed from p11-3-1 in RAW 264.7 cells. These data suggest that musfiblp encodes the MHV-induced prothrombinase.
此前,我们证明了在小鼠肝炎病毒3型(MHV-3)感染BALB/cJ小鼠期间可诱导产生一种独特的巨噬细胞凝血酶原酶。通过免疫筛选,从一个cDNA文库中分离出代表这种凝血酶原酶的一个克隆并进行了测序。该序列确定这个克隆代表一个基因(musfiblp)的一部分,该基因编码一种纤维蛋白原样蛋白。又分离出另外6个克隆,其中一个克隆p11-3-1包含了musfiblp的整个编码区。小鼠巨噬细胞并非组成性表达musfiblp,但在感染MHV-3时会合成musfiblp特异性mRNA。BALB/cJ巨噬细胞中musfiblp mRNA的诱导比A/J巨噬细胞更早且显著更强。当从p11-3-1在RAW 264.7细胞中表达musfiblp时,可证明有凝血酶原酶活性。这些数据表明musfiblp编码了MHV诱导的凝血酶原酶。
