Bovine FcgammaRIII with a single extracellular domain.
The full length of gene encoding Fc receptor types III for bovine immunoglobulin G (boFcgammaRIII, CD16) was obtained with PCR from the c DNA library of bovine alveolar macrophages. Through molecular cloning and sequencing it is shown that the coding gene has 507 bp and codes for 168 amino acids. There are signal peptide, transmembrane spanning domain and three potential N-linked glycosylation sites in the sequence. Compared with the boFcgammaRIII cDNA sequence cloned by Collins et al, it deletes 82 amino acids and has only one extracellular domain. It is suggested that this cDNA fragment is a special form of the gene structure of bovine FcgammaRIIIA (CD16-II).
