The complete nucleotide sequence of Rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) pepsinogen A (PGA) cDNA was determined from two partially overlapping cDNA clones, covering the whole coding sequence and part of the flanking sequences. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were compared to known PGA sequences from other species. The degree of similarity with human PGA appeared to be 96% at the nucleotide sequence level and 94% at the amino acid sequence level. In the coding region the divergence was highest in the activation peptide. The amino acid sequence similarity between Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata) PGA and Rhesus monkey PGA was shown to be 99%. Using the cDNA as probe in Southern hybridization of EcoRI-digested human and Rhesus monkey genomic DNAs, PGA patterns with inter-individual differences were observed. The hybridization patterns are compatible with the existence of a PGA multigene family in both species. |
