The screening of a bovine submaxillary gland cDNA library yielded 25 clones coding for bovine lactotransferrin. The nucleotide sequence of the longest insert contained a protein-coding region of 2115 nucleotides and a 3' non-coding region of 194 nucleotides followed by a poly(A) tract of about 55 nucleotides. The predicted peptide sequence included a 16-amino-acid signal sequence upstream of the first amino acid of the native protein. The identity of the clone was confirmed by matching the amino acid sequence predicted from the cDNA with the N-terminal and tryptic peptide sequences derived from purified bovine milk lactotransferrin, and also by similarity with human and murine lactotransferrins. The cDNA described corresponds to a 705-amino-acid-long preprotein that lacks the start methionine. The sequence of the secreted protein is 689 amino acids long and contains five potential glycosylation sites. Bovine lactotransferrin is 69% and 64% identical to human and murine lactotransferrins, respectively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007781 Lactoferrin An iron-binding protein that was originally characterized as a milk protein. It is widely distributed in secretory fluids and is found in the neutrophilic granules of LEUKOCYTES. The N-terminal part of lactoferrin possesses a serine protease which functions to inactivate the TYPE III SECRETION SYSTEM used by bacteria to export virulence proteins for host cell invasion. Lactotransferrin
D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000595 Amino Acid Sequence The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
