The nucleotide sequence of avian (chicken) prepro-PTH (prepro-PTH) mRNA was determined from a 2.3-kilobase fragment of complementary chicken parathyroid DNA cloned in E. coli MM 924. Northern blot analysis of chicken parathyroid mRNA, using both bovine and chicken cDNA probes, showed that the mRNA (2.3 kilobases) for chicken hormone precursor was approximately 3 times the size of mRNA for mammalian prepro-PTH. Cleavage of the cloned DNA with restriction endonuclease Pstl resulted in three fragments, each of which was subjected to sequence determination. The hormone sequence deduced from the DNA showed that chicken prepro-PTH mRNA encoded a 119-amino acid precursor which included a 25-amino acid signal sequence, a six-residue prohormone peptide, and an 88-amino acid hormone. The hormonal peptide was four residues longer than all known mammalian homologs and included gene deletions and insertions. There was significant homology of sequence in the biologically active 1-34 region with mammalian hormones, but much less in the middle and carboxyl-terminal regions. This is the first nonmammalian PTH sequence to be determined and should prove useful in studying evolution of the gene as well as structure-function relationships of the hormone.
