A cDNA clone corresponding to the mature form of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTCase) was selected from a rat liver cDNA library constructed in bacteriophage lambda gt10. OTCase clones were selected using a synthetic DNA probe of 15 bases corresponding to the 3' end of the OTCase mRNA [Horwich, A. L., Kraus, J.P., Williams, K., Kalousek, F., Königsberg, W. & Rosenberg, L.E. (1983) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 80, 4258-4262]. Putative OTCase clones were subcloned into the expression vector, pUC9, and the identity of inserts confirmed by colony immunoassay and by electrophoretic transfer of cloned proteins from sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose filters followed by probing with monospecific anti-OTCase antibodies and 125I-labelled protein A. A clone corresponding to the full-length mature form of rat liver OTCase (plus 15 amino acids from Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase) was obtained and the identity of the clone was confirmed by comparison of the 5' sequence with a limited N-terminal amino acid sequence [Lusty, C., Jilka, R. L. & Nietsch, E. H. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 10030-10036]. A sequence discrepancy between the published sequence (Lusty et al.) and the sequence predicted from the cDNA structure is noted.

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).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
