Direct immunological identification of full-length cDNA clones for plant protein without gene fusion to E. coli protein.
By immunological screening of a cDNA library constructed from potato tuber poly(A)+ RNA and Escherichia coli expression vector pUC8 by the vector-primer and linker procedure of Okayama and Berg [(1982) Mol. Cell Biol. 2, 161-170], nearly full-length cDNA clones for patatin, a major protein of potato tuber, were identified. The cDNA carrying part of the 5'-noncoding region of the patatin mRNA, in addition to entire coding and 3'-noncoding regions, expressed prepatatin in E. coli cells by translational initiation inside cDNA. These results suggest that nearly full-length cDNA clones with entire coding region can be identified directly by immunological screening without gene fusion to E. coli proteins at least for some plant mRNAs.
