A total of 148 cDNAs coding for the beta chain of human fibrinogen have been identified from a human liver cDNA library employing a bovine cDNA as a probe. The largest cDNA insert contained 1932 base pairs cloned into the PstI site of plasmid pBR322. This cDNA insert contained 66 base pairs coding for a portion or all of a signal sequence, 1383 base pairs coding for 461 amino acids in the mature protein, a stop codon of TAG, a noncoding region of 431 base pairs, and a poly(A) tail of 19 base pairs. Most of the cDNA inserts coding for the beta chain were found to have a noncoding region of 98 or 167 base pairs rather than 431 base pairs at the 3'-end. The bovine cDNA for the beta chain was also employed as a probe for screening a lambda phage library containing human genomic DNA. Seven positive phage were identified. One of the phage, which contained the entire gene for the beta chain of fibrinogen, was examined by electron microscopy, and portions of its DNA sequence are presented. Seven intervening sequences were identified in the gene for the beta chain of human fibrinogen. The largest intervening sequence (approximately 1.3 kilobases) was found at the 5'-end of the gene and was located between amino acid residues 8 and 9, which are present in fibrinopeptide B. A sequence analysis of the 5'-end of the gene also indicated that the B chain of human fibrinogen contained a signal sequence of either 16, 27, or 30 amino acid residues.
