Abstract : Bovine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) sequences have been isolated by screening a cDNA library with a human IFN-gamma cDNA probe. The cDNA library was constructed from RNA isolated from concanavalin A-stimulated bovine lymph node cells. The open reading frame predicts that the bovine IFN-gamma precursor is composed of 166 amino acids with a predicted m.w. of 19,393. Alignment of the amino acid sequence with human IFN-gamma indicates that mature bovine IFN-gamma is composed of 143 amino acids with a predicted m.w. of 16,858. It has an amino acid homology of 63% with human IFN-gamma, and 47% with murine IFN-gamma. Biologically active bovine IFN-gamma was synthesized in an Escherichia coli expression system.

Abstract : The structure of bovine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was determined by multiple isomorphous replacement at 2.0 A resolution. Bovine IFN-gamma crystallizes in two related crystal forms. Crystal form 1 diffracts to 2.9 A resolution and is reproducible and stable to derivatization. Crystal form 2 diffracts to 2.0 A resolution, but shows significant non-isomorphism from crystal to crystal. The previously determined structures of several different species of INF-gamma were either at too low a resolution [human, 1hig; Ealick et al. (1991), Science, 252, 698-702] or were too inaccurate [bovine, 1rfb; Samudzi & Rubin (1993), Acta Cryst. D49(6), 505-512; rabbit, 2rig; Samudzi et al. (1991), J. Biol. Chem. 266(32), 21791-21797] for the structure to be solved by molecular replacement. The structure was solved in crystal form 1 using two derivatives produced by chemically modifying two free cysteine residues that were introduced by site-directed mutagenesis (Ser30Cys, Asn59Cys). After model building and refinement, the final R value was 21.8% (R(free) = 30.9%) for all data in the resolution range 8.0-2.9 A. The crystal form 1 structure was then used as a molecular-replacement model for crystal form 2 data collected from a flash-cooled crystal. Subsequent model building and refinement, using all data in the resolution range 15.0-2.0 A, gave an R value of 19.7% and an R(free) of 27.5%. Pairwise comparison of C(alpha) positions of bovine IFN-gamma (BOV) and the previously determined 1rfb and 2rig structures indicated some significant differences in the models (r.m.s.d. values for BOV to 1rfb, 4.3 A; BOV to 2rig, 4.0 A). An assessment of the quality of the structures was made using the 3D-1D algorithm [Eisenberg et al. (1992), Faraday Discuss. 93, 25-34]. The resulting statistical scoring indicated that BOV was consistent with expected criteria for a 2.0 A structure, whereas both 1rfb and 2rig fell below acceptable criteria.

Abstract : This study aimed to identify interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) gene variants in cattle for diagnostic purposes. Therefore, the entire bovine IFN-gamma gene (BoIFNG) and 2605 bp of its promoter DNA were sequenced. The BoIFNG DNA sequence conforms to the published part of Bo-IFN-gamma cDNA. Primer extension experiments show the presence of a 5' extension of exon 1 by 42 nucleotides (nt). One SINE element (Bov-A2) is located in the 5'-region, and two SINE elements (Bov-tA, Bov-B) are contained in the 3'-region of BoIFNG. The variants were detected by comparative sequence analysis of PCR amplicons from different bovine species. Four polymorphic mononucleotide repeats are situated in the promoter and in intron 1. Four distinct series of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were found in functionally important regions of BoIFNG. The region between the two intron 1 microsatellites contains the highest density of SNPs in Bos taurus breeds. One G-T transversion in the coding region of exon 1 causes a Gly(14) to Val(14) exchange in the BoIFNG signal peptide of different bovine species. A G-A transition in exon 2 encodes a Ser(19) to Asn(19) change in the mature protein of the Tibetan yak. Genotyping of randomly sampled Holstein Friesian cows at selected SNPs and of both intron 1 microsatellites revealed two dominant BoIFNG microhaplotypes. The detected SNPs improve the recently reported genotyping system of cattle.

Paper title : Structure of recombinant bovine interferon-gamma at 3.0 A resolution.

Doi : https://doi.org/10.1107/S0907444993006924

Abstract : The three-dimensional crystal structure of recombinant bovine interferon-gamma was determined using the multiple isomorphous replacement method at 3.0 A and refined to an R factor of 19.2%. This protein crystallizes in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit-cell parameters of a = 42.8, b = 79.9 and c = 85.4 A. There is one functional dimer in the asymmetric unit. The two polypeptide chains are related by a non-crystallographic twofold symmetry axis. The secondary structure is predominantly alpha-helical with extensive interdigitation of the alpha-helical segments of the polypeptide chains that make up the dimer. The secondary structure, tertiary structure and topology of this molecule are identical to the previously reported structures of recombinant rabbit interferon-gamma and recombinant human interferon-gamma. The molecular topology is also similar to that of murine interferon-beta. These structural similarities strongly indicate the presence of a unique topological feature (fold) among gamma-interferons from different species, and also among the different classes of interferons.
