A mouse genomic B-type proline-rich protein (PRP) cosmid clone was isolated by cDNA hybridisation and mapped, the gene region was subcloned and 3770 bp were sequenced. This gene (MP4) contained three introns and encoded a 1020-nt (nt, nucleotide) mRNA for a PRP precursor 300 amino acids long arranged with 11 imperfect 18-residue proline-rich repeats. The transcriptional start point was determined by S1 nuclease mapping and primer extension to be 26 bp downstream of a TATAA sequence. Sequence comparisons revealed that only two regions from positions -650 bp - -30 bp were highly conserved in all other PRP genes, PRP boxes 1 and 2. Box 1 at positions -112 to -135 contained ets-like and rel/NFkB-like elements and was 74% conserved over 23 bp. Box 2 at positions -33 - -51 was 53% conserved over 19 bp. A search of the EMBL and GenBank sequence libraries indicated that PRP box 1 was only present upstream of the known mammalian PRP gene sequences and was absent from other genes. These conserved sequences may thus be relevant to the tissue-specific and beta-adrenergic regulation of PRP gene transcription.

A cDNA clone, pTU04, which hybridizes to two different sizes of mRNA on Northern blots was isolated from soybean suspension culture cell poly(A) RNA. Northern analysis reveals that meristematic tissue produces a 1050-nucleotide mRNA while quiescent mature cells produce primarily a 1220-nucleotide mRNA homologous to pTU04. The cDNA and its corresponding genomic clone have been partially characterized. The nucleotide sequence of the gene predicts a proline-rich protein, designated SbPRP1, which contains a signal peptide sequence and 43 repeats of a sequence consisting primarily of Pro-Pro-Val-Tyr-Lys (CCA-CCA-GTT-TAC-AAG). From nuclease S1 and hybrid-select translation analyses, the cDNA clone pTU04 appears to represent the mRNA for the mature tissue 1220-nucleotide RNA observed on Northern blots. Although there is no direct proof that the encoded protein is a cell wall protein, it has the properties similar to previously isolated cell wall proteins: 1) it is very basic with a high content of Pro, Tyr, and Lys; 2) it has similar hydropathic properties; and 3) its repeating unit shares sequence homology with that of more highly characterized cell wall proteins, generally termed extensin (Chen, J., and Varner, J. E. (1985) EMBO J. 4, 2145-2151; Smith, J. J., Muldoon, E. P., Willard, J. J., and Lamport, D. T. A. (1986) Phytochemistry 25, 1021-1030.

The nucleotide sequence of a cloned section of the Escherichia coli chromosome containing the tonB gene has been determined. Transcription initiation and termination sites for tonB RNA have been determined by S1 nuclease mapping. The tonB promoter and terminator resemble other E. coli promoters and terminators; the sequence of the tonB terminator region suggests that it may function bidirectionally. The DNA sequence specifies an open translation reading frame between the 5' and 3' RNA termini whose location is consistent with the position of previously isolated tonB::IS1 mutations. The DNA sequence predicts a proline-rich protein with a calculated size of 26.1-26.6 kilodaltons (239-244 amino acids), depending on which of three potential initiation codons is utilized. The predicted NH2 terminus of tonB protein resembles the proteolytically cleaved signal sequences of E. coli periplasmic and outer membrane proteins; the overall hydrophilic character of the protein sequence suggests that the bulk of the tonB protein is not embedded within the inner or outer membrane. A significant discrepancy exists between the calculated size of tonB protein and the apparent size of 36 kilodaltons determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
