cDNA clones encoding the beta-subunit of the photoreceptor cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) were isolated from a human retina library and their sequence was determined. The encoded polypeptide consists of 854 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 98,416 Da. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence with the earlier analysed alpha-, beta- and alpha'-subunits of bovine and mouse PDEs demonstrates a high homology. Two overlapping recombinant lambda phage clones containing 26 kb of the human PDE beta-subunit gene were isolated from the genomic library. A total nucleotide sequence of exons 4-22 of the PDE beta-subunit gene was established which completely corresponded to the cDNA structure. According to sequence analysis no potential possibility for alternative splicing of the beta-subunit gene was observed between exons 20 and 21 which led to the formation of the beta'-subunit as described for mouse PDE. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experiments also confirm the absence of the PDE beta'-subunit in human retina.

D010786 Photoreceptor Cells Specialized cells that detect and transduce light. They are classified into two types based on their light reception structure, the ciliary photoreceptors and the rhabdomeric photoreceptors with MICROVILLI. Ciliary photoreceptor cells use OPSINS that activate a PHOSPHODIESTERASE phosphodiesterase cascade. Rhabdomeric photoreceptor cells use opsins that activate a PHOSPHOLIPASE C cascade.

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).
