The primary structure, consisting of 1650 amino acid residues, of the C-terminal end of the dominant autoantigen of active Heymann Nephritis, gp330, from rat kidney was obtained by cloning and sequencing of cDNA clones. Comparison of this sequence with the previously published sequences of fragments of the C-terminal end of gp330 [Raychowdhury, Niles, McCluskey and Smith (1989) Science 244, 1163-1165] revealed certain differences in their primary structures. These differences included several single amino acid substitutions, replacement of a stretch of 15 amino acid residues by a different stretch of six amino acid residues, and different lengths of cytoplasmic domain (188 versus 213 amino acid residues). These findings of two different primary structures of gp330 provide direct evidence for the existence of two molecular forms of gp330.

Putative protochlorophyllide reductase cDNA clones (252 and 113) were isolated from an etiolated-oat (Avena sativa) cDNA library. These were used to indirectly characterize a further clone, p127, isolated from a lambda-phage gt11 cDNA library. The latter (1.15 kb in length) was sequenced, and the derived amino acid sequence was shown to be remarkably similar to that derived from chemical analysis of a CNBr-cleavage fragment of the purified reductase, p127 codes for more than 95% of the reductase protein.

This study investigates human enteric virus contamination of a shellfish harvesting area. Samples were analysed over a 14-month period for Small Round Structured Viruses (SRSVs) using a previously developed nested RT-PCR. A clear seasonal difference was observed with the largest numbers of positive samples obtained during the winter period (October to March). This data concurs with the known winter association of gastroenteric illness due to oyster consumption in the UK and also with the majority of the outbreaks associated with shellfish harvested from this area during the study period. RT-PCR positive amplicons were further characterised by cloning and sequencing. Sequence analysis of the positive samples identified eleven SRSV strains, of both Genogroup I and Genogroup II, occurring throughout the study period. Many shellfish samples contained a mixture of strains with a few samples containing up to three different strains with both Genogroups represented. The observed common occurrence of strain mixtures may have implications for the role of shellfish as a vector for dissemination of SRSV strains. These results show that nested RT-PCR can identify SRSV contamination in shellfish harvesting areas. Virus monitoring of shellfish harvesting areas by specialist laboratories using RT-PCR is a possible approach to combating the transmission of SRSVs by molluscan shellfish and could potentially offer significantly enhanced levels of public health protection.
