cDNA cloning of a human autoimmune nuclear ribonucleoprotein antigen.
Sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune disorders contain antibodies against nuclear proteins. One such autoantibody system, known as Sm, reacts with antigens associated with small nuclear RNA molecules. In this paper we report the use of Sm autoantibodies to isolate a cDNA clone for the mRNA of one of these nuclear antigens. A HeLa cell cDNA library was screen...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of cDNA for the nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle C proteins: a conserved gene family.
The C proteins, C1 and C2, are major constituents of the heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex in vertebrates. C1 and C2 are antigenically related phosphoproteins that are in contact with hnRNA in intact cells and bind to RNA tightly in vitro. A cDNA clone for the C proteins was isolated by immunological screening of a human lambda gt11 expression vector cDNA libra...
متن کاملPrimary structure of a human small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide as deduced by cDNA analysis.
Anti-Sm is an antibody specificity often associated with the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus. The polypeptides Sm-B'/B (estimated molecular mass 27 and 26 kDa, respectively) are primary targets of Sm antibodies. Sm-B'/B are part of the core polypeptides of small ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNP) involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Sm-B'/B share the same amino-terminal sequence as w...
متن کاملcDNA cloning and characterization of the human U3 small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein complex-associated 55-kilodalton protein.
The eukaryotic nucleolus contains a large number of small RNA molecules (snoRNAs) which, in the form of small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein complexes (snoRNPs), are involved in the processing and modification of pre-rRNA. The most abundant and one of the best-conserved snoRNAs is the U3 RNA. So far, only one human U3 snoRNA-associated protein, fibrillarin, has been characterized. Previously, the ...
متن کاملAnalysis of a cDNA clone expressing a human autoimmune antigen: full-length sequence of the U2 small nuclear RNA-associated B" antigen.
A U2 small nuclear RNA-associated protein, designated B'', was recently identified as the target antigen for autoimmune sera from certain patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and other rheumatic diseases. Such antibodies enabled us to isolate cDNA clone lambda HB''-1 from a phage lambda gt11 expression library. This clone appeared to code for the B'' protein as established by in vitro tra...
