Abstract
Cytovillin is a microvillar cytoplasmic peripheral membrane protein, with prominent expression in vivo in placental syncytiotrophoblasts and certain human tumors. Cytovillin cDNA was cloned from a human placental lambda gt11 library using affinity purified antibodies. The identity of cytovillin cDNA clones was confirmed by expression of cytovillin in Escherichia coli and using antibodies raised against the expressed fusion protein in comparison with antibodies against cytovillin purified from cultured human choriocarcinoma cells. In these cells Northern blotting analysis identified a major 3.5-kilobase cytovillin mRNA. The cDNA encodes a protein of 575 amino acids corresponding to a molecular weight of 68,084. According to secondary structure prediction, cytovillin is a hydrophilic protein with an extensive internal alpha-helical region ending in a sequence of 7 consecutive prolines. The predicted alpha-helical region showed limited homology to alpha-helical regions of cytoskeletal proteins and certain other proteins, but no extensive homologies were found in the cytovillin cDNA or the deduced amino acid sequence to other registered DNA or protein sequences. Southern blot analysis of a DNA panel of human mouse somatic cell hybrids localized the cytovillin gene to the end of the long arm of chromosome 6 (6q22-q27). Our results show that cytovillin is representative of a novel class of microvillar proteins.
