title: Nucleotide sequence of cDNA encoding bonnet monkey (Macaca radiata) zona pellucida glycoprotein-ZP3.
abstract: The cDNA encoding bonnet monkey zona pellucida ZP3 from bonnet ovary has been amplified by polymerase chain reaction. The ZP3 gene has an open reading frame of 1272 nucleotides encoding a polypeptide of 424 amino acid residues which shares 93.9% overall identity with human ZP3. Bonnet ZP3 has four potential attachment sites for N-linked sugar chains which are also conserved in human ZP3. Bonnet ZP3 has 14 cysteine residues compared with 15 in human ZP3. The highest disparity between these molecules was restricted to a domain represented by amino acid residues 370-398. These results have important implications for the use of bonnet monkey as an animal model for evaluation and development of contraceptive vaccine based on ZP3 for human use.
