Deduced amino acid sequence of mouse blood-coagulation factor IX.
A mouse fetal liver cDNA library was screened with a cDNA clone encoding human blood coagulation factor IX protein (hBCFIX). A bacteriophage lambda clone was isolated and the nucleotide sequence of a 2710-bp insert was determined. An open reading frame of 459 amino acids (aa) was identified within the sequence that has an 80% sequence similarity with hBCFIX. The cDNA contains a long 3'-untranslated sequence similar to that of BcfIX gene from human and canine sources. However, instead of a sequence that might form two hair-pins such as those found in hBcfIX, a (GA)16 repeat that has been reported to form H-DNA [Htun and Dahlberg, Science 241 (1988) 1791-1796; Johnston, Science 241 (1988) 1800-1804] was found in the 3'-untranslated region. The predicted aa sequence of mouse BCFIX serves as a comparative sequence for identifying key residues within hBCFIX where epitopes recognized by monoclonal antibodies produced from an immunized mouse are compared with respect to the human and mouse primary BCFIX sequence.
