摘要：

Both guinea pig and rabbit express two variants of the 'lung' flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO), observed as three distinct phenotypes based on mobility differences in SDS-PAGE. Samples of messenger RNA prepared from lungs of the two homozygous phenotypes of the guinea pig were used for the construction of two cDNA libraries. The libraries were screened with a cDNA encoding the rabbit lung FMO, and positive clones for each guinea pig lung FMO variant were isolated and sequenced. A full length clone from each library was found to encode a protein of 535 amino acids containing two pyrophosphate binding sites. Comparison of the sequences of the guinea pig and rabbit lung FMOs shows that their primary structures are 86% identical. The coding region sequences of the guinea pig variants differ at only two positions, and both differences result in amino acid substitutions. Sequence analysis has also been completed on a partially characterized variant of the rabbit lung FMO. As with the guinea pig, the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the rabbit variants differ at only two positions. The cDNAs encoding the guinea pig variants were expressed in yeast. The activities of the enzymes are characteristic of the lung FMO, and the mobilities of the expressed enzymes are the same as those observed for the variants present in guinea pig pulmonary microsomal preparations. Similar to findings for the rabbit, analysis of genomic DNA indicates that the guinea pig lung FMO is associated with a single gene. The results of cDNA sequence analysis, expression in yeast, and analysis of genomic DNA indicate that the multiple lung FMOs in guinea pig and rabbit are allelic variants whose mobilities in SDS-PAGE are markedly altered by minimal changes in primary structure.
