UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:beta-D-mannoside beta 1,4 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GnT-III) [EC 2.4.1.144] catalyzes the addition of N-acetylglucosamine in beta 1-4 linkage to the beta-linked mannose of the trimannosyl core of N-linked sugar chains to produce a bisecting GlcNAc residue. We have isolated six independent cDNA clones of human GnT-III from a fetal liver cDNA library. The cDNA sequence has an open reading frame that predicts a protein of 531 amino acids. The homology to rat GnT-III is 86% at the nucleotide level and is 91% at the amino acid level. The amino-terminal transmembrane domain and the catalytic domain are well conserved in the two species. Human GnT-III has a deletion of four amino acids in the "neck" region and several differences in the COOH-terminal region compared with the rat sequence. Using one of the human cDNA clones as the probe, two overlapping genomic clones have been isolated from a human cosmid library. The GnT-III gene has been mapped to chromosome 22q.13.1 using fluorescence in situ hybridization.

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).

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
