Cartilage matrix protein (CMP) is a major component of the extracellular matrix of nonarticular cartilage. The structure and chromosomal location of the human gene encoding CMP was determined by molecular cloning analysis. We used a partial chicken CMP cDNA probe to isolate three overlapping human genomic clones. From one of these clones, a probe containing 2 human CMP exons was isolated and used to map the gene to chromosome 1p35 and to screen a human retina cDNA library. Two overlapping cDNA clones were isolated. The predicted protein sequence of 496 amino acids includes a 22-residue signal peptide and a 474-residue mature protein of Mr 51,344. The human CMP gene and polypeptide are strikingly similar to the chicken CMP gene and polypeptide. Human CMP is 79% identical to chicken CMP and contains two homologous domains separated by an epidermal growth factor-like domain. One potential N-glycosylation site is conserved between the two species. The human CMP gene spans 12 kilobase pairs with 8 exons and 7 introns which are similar in size to those of the chicken CMP gene. Both RNA splice junctions of intron G in the human and chicken CMP genes are nonconforming to the consensus splice sequences. This suggests that the CMP gene utilizes a new RNA splicing mechanism.
