Cloning and characterization of four types of cDNA encoding myeloperoxidase from human monocytic leukemia cell line, SKM-1.
Four cDNA clones encoding myeloperoxidase were isolated from a cDNA library of monocytic leukemia SKM-1 cells. The sequences of two of them were identical to those of cDNA clones previously isolated from a HL-60 cell cDNA library. The sequences of the other two cDNA clones, MP-S34 and MP-S29, differed from those previously described. There was a deletion of 57 bp in the MP-S34 sequence, which was generated by partially skipping exon 9. MP-S29 had a 171 bp deletion, which was generated by completely skipping exon 10. Thus MP-S34 and MP-S29 encoded polypeptides lacking 19 and 57 amino acids, respectively. Both deletions were located on the sequence encoding the heavy subunit. These results indicate that the heterogeneity of the heavy subunit of MPO observed in leukocytes or leukemia could be in part produced by partial or complete skipping of an exon.
