Abstract

The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA corresponding to the precursor of fetal rat intestinal lactase-phlorizin hydrolase was determined. The precursor consists of four tandemly organized homologous domains flanked by a signal peptide in the N-terminal region and by a transmembrane peptide in the C-terminal region.

    For RT-PCR, cDNA was initially synthesized from 1.0 μg of total RNA using avian myeloblastosis virus-reverse transcriptase and the Advantage RT-for-PCR kit (CLONTECH, Palo Alto, CA), according to the protocol of the supplier, and brought to a final volume of 100 μl. PCRs were then carried out with synthetic oligonucleotide primers corresponding to different coding sequences of the firefly luciferase (GenBankTM accession number U47295), lactase (31) (GenBankTM accession number X56747), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (33) (internal standard, GenBankTM accession number M32599) genes:luc-F, AGATACGCCCTGGTTCCTGG-3′, and luc-R, 5′-ACGAACACCACGGTAGGCTG-3′ (290-bp product); lac-F, 5′-TACCACAAAACCTATATCAACGAGGCT-3′, and lac-R, 5′-CCCGGCCAGGGGCATGCCATTGTTGGCAATGACCTC-3′ (234-bp product);g3pdh-F, 5′-TGAAGGTCGGTGTGAACGGATTTGGC-3′, and g3pdh-R, 5′-CATGTAGGCCATGAGGTCCACCAC-3′ (983-bp product). To prevent nonspecific amplification, hot start PCRs (50 μl) were carried out with 5 μl of the reverse-transcribed cDNA solution: 0.4 μm primers, 0.20 mm dNTPs, 20 mm Tris-HCl (pH 8.4), 50 mm KCl, 1.5 mm MgCl2, and 2.5 units of TaqPolymerase (Invitrogen) preincubated with 1:28 with TaqStart Antibody (CLONTECH).
