Here, the sequence of a Xenopus laevis cDNA encoding the 640 carboxy-terminal amino acids of the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) is reported. The predicted Xenopus protein segment is 65% identical to the human counterpart. Northern blot analysis indicates that Xenopus DNA-PKcs is encoded by an approx. 13000 nt transcript. DNA-PKcs mRNA is widely expressed in adult tissues as well as in oocytes and embryos. It is also shown that outside the conserved kinase domain, Xenopus DNA-PKcs bears significant similarities to hypothetical 420.8 and 433.2 kDa proteins in yeast species.
本文报道了非洲爪蟾(Xenopus laevis)编码DNA依赖性蛋白激酶(DNA-PKcs)催化亚基640个羧基末端氨基酸的cDNA序列。预测的非洲爪蟾蛋白片段与人类对应片段的同源性为65%。Northern印迹分析表明,非洲爪蟾DNA-PKcs由一个约13000 nt的转录本编码。DNA-PKcs mRNA在成年组织以及卵母细胞和胚胎中广泛表达。研究还表明,在保守的激酶结构域之外,非洲爪蟾DNA-PKcs与酵母中的假想420.8 kDa和433.2 kDa蛋白具有显著相似性。
