Abstract
We have isolated bovine phospholipase C (PLC)-alpha cDNA from bovine thymus. Sequence analysis showed that PLC-alpha is highly conserved among rat, mouse, and calf and that it has two Trp-Cys-Gly-His-Cys-Lys motifs completely conserved in the mammals. Southern blot analysis revealed that bovine PLC-alpha is derived from a single gene. When PLC-alpha cDNA was stably transfected in NIH3T3 cells, there was no increase in PLC activity. PLC-alpha is supposed to be a member not of PLC superfamily but of Trp-Cys-Gly-His-Cys-Lys motif-containing proteins consisting of protein disulfide isomerase, P5, ERp72, and thioredoxin. PLC-alpha should be redesignated ERp57 (ER-resided p57).Entities:
