title: [Structural studies of cDNA and the gene for the beta-subunit of cGMP phosphodiesterase from human retina].
abstract: cDNA clones encoding the beta-subunit of the photoreceptor cGMP phosphodiesterase-(PDE) were isolated from a human retinal library. The encoded polypeptide has 854 amino acid residues with calculated molecular mass of 98416 Da. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence with the previously analysed alpha-, beta- and alpha'-subunits of the bovine and mouse PDEs demonstrates highly significant similarities. We have also isolated, from a genomic library, two overlapping recombinant lambda phage clones containing 26 kb of the human PDE beta-subunit gene. The cloning of the human gene and the knowledge of its genomic organization will allow the rapid assessment of the role of this gene in the causation of human retinopathies.
