The relationship between the rat liver non-specific lipid-transfer protein (nsLTP) and the 58-kDa protein cross-reactive with anti-nsLTP antibodies, was investigated by cDNA analysis. A 1945-bp cDNA clone was isolated which encodes a 58.7-kDa protein. This protein is identical to the 58-kDa immunoreactive protein determined by N-terminal sequence analysis of the purified 58-kDa protein. It consists of 546 amino acid residues, of which the 123 C-terminal residues are identical to the sequence of nsLTP. The N-terminal 400 amino acid residues of the 58.7-kDa protein were found to have 23.5% identity with the sequence of both mitochondrial and peroxisomal rat 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolases, including a hypothetical substrate-binding site. The cDNA insert hybridizes with 1.1-kb, 1.7-kb, 2.4-kb and 3.0-kb mRNA species in RNA isolated from various rat tissues and from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Southern blot analysis suggests that these mRNA species are generated from a single gene. Mutant CHO cells, deficient in peroxisomes, lack nsLTP. We have found that the mRNA encoding nsLTP is still present in these cells, which suggests that the absence of this protein is related to the lack of peroxisomes.
