Mouse immunoglobulin A: nucleotide sequence of the structural gene for the alpha heavy chain derived from cloned cDNAs. 1981

C Auffray, and R Nageotte, and J L Sikorav, and O Heidmann, and F Rougeon

The cDNAs complementary to mouse immunoglobulin alpha heavy chain mRNAs have been cloned into the PstI site of the plasmid vector pBR322. Recombinant plasmids have been identified by hybrid-arrested translation and purification of alpha heavy chain mRNA on DNA-DBM filters. The nucleotide sequence of the inserts encodes the constant and 3' untranslated regions of the alpha heavy chain mRNA. The CH3 domains of human and mouse alpha chains are highly homologous, including a 36 amino acid fragment not reported in the protein sequence (Robinson and Appella, 1980). As in the case of the mu secreted heavy chain, the alpha heavy chain contains a carboxy terminal piece of 20 amino acids.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007127 Immunoglobulin Constant Regions The domains of the immunoglobulin molecules that are invariable in their amino acid sequence within any class or subclass of immunoglobulin. They confer biological as well as structural functions to immunoglobulins. One each on both the light chains and the heavy chains comprises the C-terminus half of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN FAB FRAGMENT and two or three of them make up the rest of the heavy chains (all of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN FC FRAGMENT) Ig Constant Regions,Immunoglobulin Constant Region,Constant Region, Ig,Constant Region, Immunoglobulin,Constant Regions, Ig,Constant Regions, Immunoglobulin,Regions, Ig Constant
D007137 Immunoglobulin alpha-Chains The class of heavy chains found in IMMUNOGLOBULIN A. They have a molecular weight of approximately 58 kDa and contain about 470 amino acid residues arranged in four domains and an oligosaccharide component bound covalently to their Fc fragment constant region.

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
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
D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).

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).
