CCT, a chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 (TCP-1), is a cytosolic molecular chaperone involved in the folding of proteins. We have isolated the Cctd gene from a Fugu rubripes rubripes (Frr) genomic library using a rat Ccta cDNA as a probe, and cloned its cDNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using a pair of oligodeoxyribonucleotides corresponding to the 5' and 3' non-coding regions of Frr Cctd. Cctd spans a region of 4.7 kb and consists of at least 13 exons with small introns of about 144 bp on average. The Cctd cDNA sequence revealed a deduced polypeptide of 536 amino acids sharing a high degree of homology with that of the mouse Cctd cDNA (88%). Cctd is present as a single-copy gene, as shown by genomic Southern blot analysis, and can be used for evolutionary and classification analyses of Fugu species.
