    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Chicken egg white lysozyme is a key enzyme in innate immunity.
    • Understanding its gene structure provides insights into protein function and evolution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the nucleotide sequence of chicken egg white lysozyme mRNA.
    • To analyze the exon-intron structure of the lysozyme gene.
    • To correlate gene structure with protein function and substrate binding.

    Main Methods:

    • Nucleotide sequencing of mRNA.
    • Analysis of gene exons and flanking introns.

    Main Results:

    • The exon pattern partially reflects protein structure but strongly correlates with functional units.
    • Exon 2 encodes catalytic residues and substrate-binding sites.
    • Exon 3 enhances substrate specificity and catalytic efficiency.
    • Exons 1 and 4 code for signal peptides and terminal regions, contributing to stability.

    Conclusions:

    • Exon organization in the chicken lysozyme gene is closely linked to functional domains.
    • Specific exons contribute distinct roles, from catalysis to stability and substrate recognition.
