The major vault protein is the predominant constituent of vaults ubiquitous large cytosolic ribonucleoprotein particles. A cDNA clone encoding the 100-kDa major vault protein (MVP100) was isolated from an electric lobe library of Discopyge ommata. The complete nucleotide sequence was determined. Northern blot analysis revealed a 2.8-kb transcript with a high expression in neural tissue. Southern blot analysis indicates that the electric ray MVP100 is a single copy-gene with at least two introns. The primary structure of major vault proteins characterized in slime mold, ray, rat and human is evolutionary highly conserved.
主要穹窿蛋白是穹窿(普遍存在的大型胞质核糖核蛋白颗粒)的主要成分。从电鳐(Discopyge ommata)的电叶文库中分离出一个编码100 kDa主要穹窿蛋白(MVP100)的cDNA克隆。测定了其完整的核苷酸序列。Northern印迹分析显示有一个2.8 kb的转录本,在神经组织中高表达。Southern印迹分析表明,电鳐的MVP100是一个单拷贝基因,至少有两个内含子。在黏菌、电鳐、大鼠和人类中鉴定的主要穹窿蛋白的一级结构在进化上高度保守。
