| Research Abstract |
1. A complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding human kidney D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) was isolated from a human kidney cDNA library, and the nucleotide sequence was determined.
2. A recombinant porcine DAO Was expressed in a large scale in. The expressed recombinant DAO was purified from the cell extract, and the molecular and enzymological properties were characterized.
3. Two kinds of recombinant mutant DAOs, in which Tyr-228 or His-307 is replaced with Phe or Leu, respectively, were expressed in Escherichia coli cells. The mutant DAOs were purified from the cell extract, and the functional abnormalities were shown.
4. A cDNA encoding rabbit kidney DAO was isolated from a rabbit kidney cDNA library, and the nucleotide sequence was determined. Moreover, the presence of translational suppression in the process of rabbit DAO gene expression was found.
5. A cDNA encoding mouse kidney DAO was isolated from a mouse kidney cDNA library, and the nucleotide sequence was determined.
6. cDNAs encoding porcine, human and rat renin-binding proteins (RnBP) were isolated from cDNA libraries and the nucleotide sequences were determined.
7. It was shown that RnBP is a new protein that has not been identified and it contains a new type of leucine zipper structure.
8. The leucine zipper motif in RnBP molecule was shown to participate in the protein function.
