Abstract
The cDNA sequences of chicken and hagfish prothrombin have been determined. The sequences predict that prothrombin from both species is synthesized as a prepro-protein consisting of a putative Gla domain, two kringle domains, and a two-chain protease domain. Chicken and hagfish prothrombin share 51.6% amino acid sequence identity (313/627 residues). Both chicken and hagfish prothrombin are structurally very similar to human, bovine, rat, and mouse prothrombin and all six species share 41% amino acid sequence identity. Amino acid sequence alignments of human, bovine, rat, mouse, chicken, and hagfish prothrombin suggest that the thrombin B-chain and the propeptide-Gla domain are the regions most constrained for the common function(s) of vertebrate prothrombins.Entities:
