Cloned cDNAs containing sequences coding for the beta subunit of bovine thyrotropin have been identified. The complete nucleotide sequence of the largest of the beta subunit cDNA inserts has been determined. This cDNA contains 35 nucleotides from the 5' untranslated region of thyrotropin beta subunit mRNA and 60 nucleotides coding for an NH2-terminal precursor segment. This is followed by 339 nucleotides which code for the published amino acid sequence of the thyrotropin beta subunit. Following the 339 nucleotide beta subunit coding sequence, no termination codon is encountered for another 15 nucleotides. Thus, the cDNA codes for a thyrotropin beta subunit containing an additional 5 amino acids at the COOH terminus. The cDNA also contains 82 nucleotides of 3' untranslated sequence followed by a short poly(A) segment. Comparison of the bovine cDNA sequence to the recently described mouse thyrotropin beta subunit cDNA sequence reveals considerable homology throughout the coding sequence, including the COOH-terminal extension. These findings suggest the possibility that a thyrotropin beta subunit precursor is processed at both the NH2 and COOH termini.
