The genes coding for 20-kDa lymphotoxin (TNF-beta) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) have been cloned from a rabbit genomic library. The two genes are tandemly arranged and separated by only 1 kb of DNA, as previously observed in human and mouse genomes. We have sequenced the entire rabbit lymphotoxin-encoding gene and inferred the primary structure of rabbit TNF-beta, whose cDNA is not yet cloned. We also analysed the upstream sequences of the rabbit TNF-beta and TNF-alpha genes and identified a number of potential binding sites for known nuclear transcription factors, and in particular several putative kappa B-type sequences.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008233 Lymphotoxin-alpha A tumor necrosis factor family member that is released by activated LYMPHOCYTES. Soluble lymphotoxin is specific for TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR TYPE I; TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR TYPE II; and TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR SUPERFAMILY, MEMBER 14. Lymphotoxin-alpha can form a membrane-bound heterodimer with LYMPHOTOXIN-BETA that has specificity for the LYMPHOTOXIN BETA RECEPTOR.
