A human
CAD
cDNA encoding a trifunctional enzyme of carbamoylphosphate synthetase-aspartate transcarbamoylase-dihydroorotase, which catalyzes the first three steps of de novo pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis, was cloned from a human fibroblast cell line of
TIG-1
-20 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The predicted open reading frame encodes a protein of 2,225 amino acids with a deduced molecular weight (Mr) OF 242,913. The deduced amino acid sequence exhibits 95.3 and 76.1% identity with the
CAD
sequences of hamster and Squalus acanthias. The DNA fragment of 6,679 bp containing the full-length coding sequence was amplified by nested PCR using the first-strand cDNA of human cell lines of
TIG-1
-20 and COLO205 as a template. Southern blot analysis suggested that the
CAD
gene exists as a single copy in the human genome.
