Nucleotide sequences of gene segments encoding membrane domains of immunoglobulin gamma chains. 1982

Y Yamawaki-Kataoka, and S Nakai, and T Miyata, and T Honjo

The nucleotide sequences of the exons encoding membrane-bound IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b of mouse were determined and compared with the sequence of membrane-bound IgM. The sequences indicate that membrane-bound gamma chains bear an additional 71 residues at the COOH termini, including 17-residue acidic, 26-residue hydrophobic, and 28 residue hydrophilic portions. The hydrophobic portion, which seems to be anchored in the lipid bilayer of the membrane, is highly conserved among membrane-bound mu and gamma chains. We propose the presence of a membrane protein that recognizes the conserved hydrophobic segment and anchors the membrane-bound immunoglobulin. Comparison of the nucleotide sequences revealed another example of intervening sequence-mediated domain exchange around one of the membrane exons.

D007142 Immunoglobulin gamma-Chains Heavy chains of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G having a molecular weight of approximately 51 kDa. They contain about 450 amino acid residues arranged in four domains and an oligosaccharide component covalently bound to the Fc fragment constant region. The gamma heavy chain subclasses (for example, gamma 1, gamma 2a, and gamma 2b) of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN G isotype subclasses (IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B) resemble each other more closely than the heavy chains of the other IMMUNOGLOBULIN ISOTYPES.

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
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.
