Growth Factor Beta

Analyses of cDNA clones coding for simian type 1 transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta 1) suggest that there are three potential sites for N-linked glycosylation located in the amino terminus of the precursor region. Analysis of [3H]glucosamine-labeled serum-free supernatants from a line of Chinese hamster ovary cells which secrete high levels of recombinant TGF-beta 1 indicate that the TGF-beta 1 precursor, but not the mature form, is glycosylated. Digestion with neuraminidase resulted in a shift in migration of the two TGF-beta 1 precursor bands, which suggests that they contain sialic acid residues. Endoglycosidase H had no noticeable effect. Treatment with N-glycanase produced two faster-migrating sharp bands, the largest of which had a molecular weight of 39 kilodaltons. TGF-beta 1-specific transcripts produced by SP6 polymerase programmed the synthesis of a 42-kilodalton polypeptide which, we suggest, is the unmodified protein backbone of the precursor. Labeling with 32Pi showed that the TGF-beta 1 precursor was phosphorylated in the amino portion of the molecule.

Chromosomal Sequences

Small polydisperse circular (spc) DNA was isolated and cloned, using BglII from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The properties of 47 clones containing at least 43 different BglII fragments are reported. The majority of the clones probably contain entire sequences from individual spcDNA molecules. Most of the clones were homologous to sequences in CHO cell chromosomal DNA, and many were also homologous to mouse LMTK- cell chromosomal sequences. The majority of homologous CHO cell chromosomal sequences were repetitive, although a few may be single copy. Only a small fraction of cloned spcDNA molecules were present in every cell; most occurred less frequently than once in 15 cells. Localization studies indicated that at least a portion of spcDNA is associated with the nucleus in CHO cells.
