1. Canine high-molecular-weight renin (mol. wt. 60 000) is believed to be a complex of renin (low-molecular-weight form, mol. wt. 40 000) and renin-binding substance. The immunocross-reactivity of high-molecular-weight renin and low-molecular-weight renin was demonstrated by using antibodies specific to low-molecular-weight renin. 2. Immunoaffinity chromatography with renin-specific antibodies coupled to Sepharose provided a simple and specific method for isolation of high-molecular-weight renin. High-molecular-weight renin with a specific activity of 137 600 ng of ANG I h−1 mg−1 of protein (19.6 Goldblatt units/mg of protein) was obtained. 3. This high-molecular-weight renin was stable in dithiothreitol (25 mmol/l), suggesting that disulphide bonds may not be involved in the binding mechanism between low-molecular-weight renin and renin-binding substance. 4. However, exposure to low pH (3.0) resulted in conversion of high-molecular-weight renin into the low-molecular-weight form.

A rat brain cDNA library has been constructed. Three identical clones of about 2.2 kb representing high molecular weight DNA polymerase beta transcript were found. Sequencing proved our earlier suggestion that both high and low molecular weight DNA polymerase beta transcripts have the same open reading frame and differ mainly at the 3' end. Because of that, alternative polyadenylation is discussed as a possible mechanism for tissue- and development-specific regulation of the DNA polymerase beta gene expression.
