The recent cloning and sequence analysis of human factor VIII:C (antihaemophilic factor) revealed a domain structure for the protein which can be presented as A1-A2-B-A3-C1-C2. In this report we describe the construction of two altered factor VIII:C cDNAs coding for molecules in which a part (amino acids 816 to 1598) or all of the B domain (amino acids 741 to 1689) was removed. In the latter mutant a new thrombin cleavage site has been created, which does not exist in wild-type factor VIII:C. The mutated cDNAs were cloned into eucaryotic expression vectors based on regulatory sequences of the virus SV40 and transfected into two different mammalian cell lines. Both truncated recombinant factor VIII:C molecules were secreted into the culture medium, showed full biological activity and could be activated by thrombin.

Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations

D002872 Chromosome Deletion Actual loss of portion of a chromosome. Monosomy, Partial,Partial Monosomy,Deletion, Chromosome,Deletions, Chromosome,Monosomies, Partial,Partial Monosomies
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).

D005169 Factor VIII Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.
