Abstract:
| cDNA clones were isolated by screening a human thyroid carcinoma lambda gt11 library with immunoglobulins purified from serum of a patient with autoimmune Graves' disease. One clone (ML8) containing a 1.25-kilobase (kb) insert hybridized with a single 2.0-kb poly(A+) mRNA in human thyroid and lymphocytes but not in human brain, liver, kidney, or muscle. In addition, this probe also hybridized with a single 2.0-kb poly(A+) mRNA from a rat thyroid cell line (FRTL-5). An apparently full length 2,074-base pair (bp) human cDNA was obtained and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of the 2,074-bp cDNA includes a 5'-noncoding sequence of 17 bp, a 1827-bp open reading frame, and a 222-bp 3'-noncoding sequence. The canonical polyadenylation signal AATAAA is present 18 bp upstream of the poly(A) tail. This cDNA encodes a 69,812-dalton protein with two potential N-linked glycosylation sites and at least one potential membrane spanning domain. Immunoprecipitation of the in vitro translated protein by sera from several patients with Graves' disease argues that the 69,812-dalton protein is an autoantigen. |
