Identification of the base substitution responsible for the Ag(x/y) polymorphism of apolipoprotein B-100.

چکیده
The identification of the base substitution responsible for Ag(x/y) completes the description of the antigen group polymorphisms associated with the apolipoprotein B polypeptide. Surprisingly, all five antigen group polymorphisms alter restriction endonuclease cleavage sites and have associated restriction fragment length polymorphisms, thereby providing a convenient alternative for antigen group phenotyping.

Apolipoprotein B: the Ag(a1/d) immunogenetic polymorphism coincides with a T-to-C substitution at nucleotide 1981, creating an Alu I restriction site.
Short cDNA fragments covering the entire coding region for apolipoprotein (apo) B have been cloned in the pING expression vector. A monoclonal antibody specific for the Ag(d) epitope on apo B has been used, together with the expressed apo B peptides, to locate this epitope to a stretch of 26 amino acids. Sequencing of this region from several genomic DNAs of known Ag(a1/d) genotype showed a sin...
متن کاملApolipoprotein B gene haplotypes. Association between Ag and DNA polymorphisms.
Berg et al. (Clin Genet 1986;30:515-520) have reported that an Xba I DNA polymorphic site in exon 26 of the apolipoprotein (apo) B gene is associated both with the Ag(x/y) immunochemical polymorphism and with elevated serum lipoprotein levels. Ma et al. (Arteriosclerosis 1987;7:301-305) have reported that the same Xba I polymorphism is associated with a different immunochemical polymorphism, Ag...

b-lactoglobulin (Coded by the b-lg gene) is the major milk whey protein in ruminants. Studies have shown that this protein is polymorphic in many breeds of sheep as a result of a single base pair substitution in the b-lg gene that also gives rise to RsaI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Blood samples were collected from 391 animals belonging to 5 Iranian and 6 Russian sheep bree...

Background: Gelatinase B or collagenase type IV is a 92 kDa protein. In case of over-expression of the gene, because of its collagenase activity, it can be involved in metastasis activity of few cancers e.g. bladder, colorectal and gastric carcinoma. Single nucleotide substitution base polymorphism of C to T at -1562 of promoter region can increase gene expression by decreasing transcription in...
متن کاملFamilial defective apolipoprotein B-100: detection and haplotype analysis of the Arg(3500)-->Gln mutation in hyperlipidemic Chinese.
Familial defective apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 (FDB) is caused by R3500Q mutation of the apo B gene resulting in decreased binding of LDL to the LDL receptor. Two other apo B mutations, R3500W and R3531C, affecting binding are known to date. We screened the apo B gene segment around codon 3500 by heteroduplex analysis and single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis in a total of 373 ...
