The cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) apolipoprotein C-III and apolipoprotein A-IV genes have been isolated from a cynomolgus genomic DNA library and completely sequenced. These genes span 3.1 and 2.8 kilobases (kb), respectively. Apolipoprotein C-III gene is interrupted by three intervening sequences of 613, 135 and 1699 bp, respectively. The open reading frame encodes a protein of 99 amino acids which is 87% similar to the human. The cynomolgus mature protein is 79 residues long. Thr-74 is also present what might allow the formation of O-glycosidic linkage observed in the human protein. Apolipoprotein A-IV gene consist of two intervening sequences of 352 and 774 bp, respectively. The open reading frame encodes a protein of 429 amino acids which is 87% similar to the human. The cynomolgus mature protein is 409 residues long, 33 amino acids longer than the human, due to an insertion of 33 residues in its COOH-terminal region. This insertion is mainly composed of glutamine and glutamic acid, which confers cynomolgus apolipoprotein a higher hydrophilicity.
