A cDNA library was constructed using polyadenylated RNA from salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) Brockmann bodies, plasmid vector pBR322, and in vitro recombinant DNA techniques. Insulin-related clones were identified with a cDNA probe generated from the same RNA and enriched for insulin sequences. Two recombinants were shown to contain the nucleotide sequence of the entire coding region and parts of the 5' and 3' untranslated regions. The salmon preproinsulin mRNA is about 760 nucleotides long, 315 of which code for the protein, while about 190 and 200 nucleotides belong to the 5' and 3' flanking regions, respectively. Comparison of the nucleotide sequences of salmon insulin mRNA with those from other species reveals that sequence conservation is limited to the regions coding for the B and A peptides and two segments of the signal peptide. The C-peptide region exhibits no significant sequence homology with the C-peptides of other vertebrates. The 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the salmon preproinsulin mRNA are homologous only with the anglerfish mRNA, whereas there is no evident homology with those of birds and mammals. In addition to establishing the sequence of the preproinsulin mRNA, cloned salmon insulin cDNA provides a specific probe for the analysis and isolation of genomic DNA fragments containing insulin genes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D011384 Proinsulin A pancreatic polypeptide of about 110 amino acids, depending on the species, that is the precursor of insulin. Proinsulin, produced by the PANCREATIC BETA CELLS, is comprised sequentially of the N-terminal B-chain, the proteolytically removable connecting C-peptide, and the C-terminal A-chain. It also contains three disulfide bonds, two between A-chain and B-chain. After cleavage at two locations, insulin and C-peptide are the secreted products. Intact proinsulin with low bioactivity also is secreted in small amounts.

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).
