Hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) catalyzes the first step in glucose metabolism, using ATP for the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate. A portion of the HK1 gene was cloned by mixed oligonucleotide primer amplification of cDNA using primers of high complexity. The amino acid sequence for a partial fragment of bovine cardiac muscle HK was determined and used to create primer mixtures of 256- and 1024-fold complexity. Two products were generated from bovine cardiac muscle cDNA which show 82% nucleotide and 93% amino acid identity with a region of rat brain HK1 and cDNA. This work demonstrates that extension and amplification of cDNA probes may be successful even when amino acid sequence data indicate substantial codon degeneracy.

Ca2+-ATPase molecules present in the microsomal fraction from non-muscle cells were examined immunologically. Rabbit whole brain, cerebellum, liver, kidney, and COS-1 cell microsomes all displayed a polypeptide of about 110 kDa which was immunoreactive with a polyclonal antiserum against the cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase molecule, but was not immunoreactive with a monoclonal antibody specific for the fast-twitch muscle Ca2+-ATPase. cDNAs encoding the full length of two Ca2+-ATPase molecules were isolated from a human kidney library using a mixture of nucleotide probes derived from both rabbit fast-twitch and cardiac muscle Ca2+-ATPase cDNAs. The human kidney cDNAs, HK1 and HK2, are the products of alternative splicing. HK2 codes for a protein identical to rabbit cardiac muscle Ca2+-ATPase, with the exception of 6 scattered amino acid replacements, whereas HK1 codes for a protein identical to that encoded by HK2, but with the carboxyl-terminal 4 amino acids replaced by an extended sequence of 49 amino acids. cDNAs of the HK1 type are by far the most abundant in the library. The partial structure of a 40-kilobase genomic DNA encoding all but the 5' end of the human cardiac Ca2+-ATPase is described. The exons which give rise to the alternatively spliced products were located by Southern blotting and sequencing, and the alternative splicing patterns were determined.
