The primary structure of cynomolgus monkey apolipoprotein A-1 deduced from the cDNA sequence: comparison to the human
Abstract:
We have cloned and analyzed a cDNA containing the complete coding sequence for cynomolgus monkey apolipoprotein A-1 (apoA-1). This cDNA clone was found to share approx. 97% nucleotide sequence identity with the published human apoA-1 and encodes a protein of the same size as the human protein. Paired proline residues are present at positions 3 and 4 in the mature protein as has been reported for other primate species and the propeptide sequence is identical to the human propeptide. The amino acid content derived from the nucleotide sequence predicts a more basic protein than human apoA-1 and this was confirmed by isoelectric focusing analysis. In addition, we present evidence for two different transcriptional initiation sites for the cynomolgus monkey gene in contrast to only one for human.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...
