Human carbonic anhydrase IV: cDNA cloning, sequence comparison, and expression in COS cell membranes
- St. Louis Univ., MO (United States)
The authors have isolated a full-length cDNA for human carbonic anhydrase IV (CA IV) from a {lambda}gt10 human kidney cDNA library. The 1,105-base-pair (bp) cDNA contains a 47-bp 5{prime} untranslated region, a 936-bp open reading frame, and a 122-bp 3{prime} untranslated region. The deduced amino acid sequence is colinear with the N-terminal sequence and the sequence of several tryptic peptides of human lung CA IV. Expression of the cDNA in COS cells produced a 35-kDa enzyme that was membrane associated, resistant to inactivation by SDS, contained no carbohydrate, and reacted on Western blots with antiserum to the 35-kDa CA IV from human lung. Treatment of membranes from transfected COS cells with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C released 20-30% of the expressed enzyme from membranes, indicating that at least 20-30% of the expressed enzyme was anchored to membranes by a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol linkage.
