Description:
The mode of integration of the glycoprotein thy-1 within the cell membrane has been controversial due to an apparent lack of a transmembrane hydrophobic segment. Rat and mouse complementary DNA and genomic clones encoding the thy-1 molecule have been isolated and sequenced. These studies have enabled us to determine the intron-exon organization of the thy-1 gene. Furthermore, they have revealed the existence of a sequence which would encode an extra segment (31 amino acids) at the carboxyl terminus of the thy-1 molecule. These extra amino acids include a 20-amino acid hydrophobic segment which may be responsible for integration of thy-1 within the plasma membrane.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Seki, T -- Chang, H C -- Moriuchi, T -- Denome, R -- Ploegh, H -- Silver, J -- CA38404/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1985 Feb 8;227(4687):649-51.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2857501" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
