    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Renin is a key enzyme in the renin-angiotensin system, regulating blood pressure.
    • Understanding renin biosynthesis is crucial for studying related physiological and pathological processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the biosynthesis of mouse submandibular gland renin.
    • To achieve gene cloning of mouse submandibular gland renin.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized mRNA translation and pulse-chase labeling experiments to identify renin precursor proteins.
    • Employed 2D gel electrophoresis to determine molecular weight (Mr) and isoelectric point (pI) of proteins.
    • Screened Escherichia coli colonies containing mouse submandibular gland cDNA inserts using anti-renin antibodies for gene cloning.

    Main Results:

    • Identified preprorenin (Mr 46,000) and subsequent processing intermediates (prorenin, Mr 44,500).
    • Characterized mature renin forms with Mr 35,500 (pI 5.6) and Mr 34,000 (pI 5.4).
    • Successfully cloned renin cDNA from two positive Escherichia coli colonies, confirmed by immunoprecipitation and hybridization.

    Conclusions:

    • Elucidated the post-translational processing pathway of mouse submandibular gland renin.
    • Successfully cloned the gene for mouse submandibular gland renin, providing a tool for further research.
