Abstract:
:Restriction fragments isolated from a 17-kb rat genomic DNA clone containing the gene for apolipoprotein (apo) E were radiolabeled and used to screen a rat liver cDNA library. A cDNA clone hybridizing to a 6-kb genomic DNA fragment was isolated and the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert determined. The sequence was homologous to the sequence for human apo C-I and was used to derive the corresponding amino acid sequence. Unlike human apo C-I, mature rat apo C-I contains histidine, lacks valine, and has alanine at the C terminus and aspartate as the N terminus. Screening the rat liver cDNA library with a radiolabeled 1.9-kb restriction fragment from the genomic DNA clone containing the rat apo E gene identified another cDNA clone (ECL cDNA). Nucleotide sequencing yielded a derived 75-amino-acid sequence for the ECL protein with a hydrophobicity profile similar to that of rat apo C-I. Northern analysis demonstrated a 0.50-kb band for ECL mRNA. The tissue-specific expression of the gene is similar to that of rat apo C-I. This study indicates that the rat apo C-I and ECL genes are closely linked, about 4.5 and 12 kb downstream of the apo E gene, respectively.
