    Abstract:
    2',3'-Cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.37) has been widely used as a marker for myelin-oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. Evidence has been provided that the enzyme is identical with one of the Wolfgram proteins of central nervous system myelin. The amino acid sequence of bovine 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase was determined by both protein and cDNA sequence analyses. Protein sequence analysis was done on bovine elastase 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase, a low molecular weight enzyme obtained by solubilization with pancreatic elastase (EC 3.4.21.36) (Nishizawa, Y., Kurihara, T., and Takahashi, Y. (1980) Biochem. J. 191, 71-82; Kurihara, T., Nishizawa, Y., Takahashi, Y., and Odani, S. (1981) Biochem. J. 195, 153-157). Based on the carboxyl-terminal sequence of bovine elastase 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase, synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides were prepared and used as probes for screening a cDNA library of bovine brain. A cDNA of 2305 base pairs was obtained and sequenced, and the complete amino acid sequence of bovine 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase was deduced. Bovine 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase deduced contains 400 amino acids including initiation methionine and has a molecular weight of 44,850. Bovine elastase 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase corresponds to the 236 amino acids of bovine 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase. RNA blot analysis revealed a single-species mRNA of about 2600 bases.
