    cDNA clones encoding bovine gamma-crystallins.

    Hay RE, Woods WD, Church RL, Petrash JM.

    We have determined the nucleotide sequence of two bovine lens gamma-crystallin cDNA clones, pBL gamma II-1 and pBL gamma III-1. The 644 bp cDNA insert of pBL gamma II-1 contains coding information for the entire amino acid sequence of bovine gamma II-crystallin. The 497 bp cDNA insert of pBL gamma III-1 encodes a homologous but different gamma-crystallin polypeptide, and appears to lack the coding information for the C-terminal 17 amino acid residues. While the nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequences of the coding regions of the clones show a high degree of homology, the untranslated leader sequences are relatively dissimilar. The leader sequence of pBL gamma III-1 is strikingly homologous to a portion of a rabbit immunoglobulin alpha-heavy chain mRNA.
