Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of the cDNA for rat peroxisomal enoyl-CoA: hydratase-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase bifunctional enzyme.
For the studies on the mechanism of induction of peroxisomal beta-oxidation enzymes and biogenesis of the organelle, we have isolated cDNA clones for rat peroxisomal enoyl-CoA: hydratase-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase bifunctional enzyme. On blotting experiments with liver RNA, the cDNAs hybridized to a 3.0-kilobase RNA which was increased 5-7-fold by the administration of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate to rats. Nucleotide sequencing was carried out for four cloned cDNAs and one obtained by a primer extension method. By overlapping these sequences with each other, we identified 20 nucleotides of 5'-noncoding, 2,166 nucleotides of coding, and 910 nucleotides of 3'-noncoding regions. The deduced amino acid sequence of the enzyme is composed of 722 residues, and the composition agrees with that of the protein data. The sequence was confirmed by the amino acid compositions and sequence analyses of some of the tryptic peptides. The molecular weight of the mature enzyme is calculated to be 78,511 from the predicted amino acid sequence. The enzyme has no terminal peptide extension as a signal for translocation into peroxisomes.
