pubmed:abstractText |
A mouse macrophage lambda gt11 cDNA library was screened using a genomic DNA clone coding for the C-chain gene of human C1q. Approximately 600,000 recombinant phage plaques were hybridized with peroxidase-labeled human C-chain probe and detected by enhanced chemiluminescence. Five positive clones were obtained. The size of the full-length cDNA is 1019 bp. The sequence identity of the nucleotide sequence with human C1q C chain is 79%, the identity of the deduced amino acid sequences is 73%. The mouse C1q C chain exhibits the same structural features as the human C chain, e.g. conservation of the cysteine residues. Like the mouse A chain, the mouse C chain has an RGD sequence that may be recognized by receptors of the integrin family. No RGD sequences have been found in any of the human C1q chains. The size of the C-chain mRNA (1.2 kb) and its tissue distribution (macrophages being the cell type with the highest mRNA concentration) are identical to the mRNA of the mouse A and B chains. Alignment of human and mouse C1q A, B and C chains exhibits two blocks of highly conserved residues within the C-terminal globular regions. Three other proteins, collagen type VIII and type X and precerebellin share this similarity with C1q, indicating the structural and probably functional importance of these regions within the non-collagenous domains of the molecules.
