Rat liver cDNA libraries constructed in lambda gt11 were screened for reactivity with polyclonal antibodies to native S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase (adenosylhomocysteinase; EC 3.3.1.1). Five clones were isolated and sequenced. The amino acid sequence, deduced from the cDNA sequence, contained the sequence of eight peptides obtained by tryptic and cyanogen bromide fragmentation of rat liver AdoHcy hydrolase. Identification of the amino- and carboxyl-terminal peptides in the amino acid sequence showed that the complete sequence was obtained. A "fingerprint" sequence was found that is characteristic of dinucleotide-binding domains of many proteins. For AdoHcy hydrolase, this region from the lysine at position 213 to the aspartate at position 244, containing the sequence Gly-Xaa-Gly-Xaa-Xaa-Gly at positions 219-224, is presumably the site of binding for NAD+, which is required for the activity of the enzyme.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D010446 Peptide Fragments Partial proteins formed by partial hydrolysis of complete proteins or generated through PROTEIN ENGINEERING techniques. Peptide Fragment,Fragment, Peptide,Fragments, Peptide
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.

D006867 Hydrolases Any member of the class of enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of the substrate and the addition of water to the resulting molecules, e.g., ESTERASES, glycosidases (GLYCOSIDE HYDROLASES), lipases, NUCLEOTIDASES, peptidases (PEPTIDE HYDROLASES), and phosphatases (PHOSPHORIC MONOESTER HYDROLASES).
