Poly(A) RNA was isolated from the gastric mucosa of the bovine fourth stomach (the abomasum) using and analysing several calves not older than 12 days. The amount of the preprochymosin mRNA in the mucosa of those animals at best reaches about 5-10% of the poly(A) RNA as estimated by in vitro translation and immunoprecipitation. Starting from that material double-stranded complementary DNA was synthesized, inserted by dG dC tailing into the PstI site of the vector plasmid pBR322 and used for transformation of E. coli. Tetracycline resistant clones containing DNA sequences coding for the full length of prochymosin were recognized by colony hybridization with five specific d-oligonucleotides corresponding either to the N-terminal, the middle or the C-terminal part of prochymosin. Six recombinants were detected by screening of 1 500 recombinants with an oligonucleotide which corresponds to positions 649 to 663 of the nucleotide sequence published by Harris et al. (1982). Two of them were found to cover together the complete prochymosin sequence as evidenced by both positive colony hybridization with either the N-terminal or the C-terminal oligonucleotide probe, as well as by the restriction pattern of the selected plasmids.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D011061 Poly A A group of adenine ribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each adenine ribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the ribose moieties. Adenine Polynucleotides,Polyadenylic Acids,Poly(rA),Polynucleotides, Adenine
D012085 Chymosin The predominant milk-clotting enzyme from the true stomach or abomasum of the suckling calf. It is secreted as an inactive precursor called prorennin and converted in the acid environment of the stomach to the active enzyme. EC 3.4.23.4. Rennin,Chymosin A,Chymosin C

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).

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
