The SAA-specific cDNA clone (pAl) contains the nucleotide sequence coding for the mature SAA and 10 amino acids of the 18-residue signal peptide. It also includes a 70 nucleotide long 3'-untranslated region and approximately 120 bases of the poly (A) tail. The derived amino acid sequence of pAl is identical with the a form of apoSAAl. A fragment of pAl containing the conserved (residues 33-38) region of SAA also hybridized with RNA from humanacute phase liver and acute phase stimulated, but not unstimulated, mouse and rabbit liver. In contrast, a fragment correspondingto the variable region hybridized to a much greater extent with human than with rabbit or murine RNA. Human acute phase liver SAA mRNA (~ 600 nucleotides in length) directs synthesis of preSAA (Mr 14000) in a cell-free translating system. In a Xenopus oocyte translation system preSAA is synthesized and processed to the mature Mr 12000 product. The complete 18 amino acid signal peptide sequence of preSAA was derived from sequencing cDNA synthesized by “primer extension” from the region of SAA mRNA corresponding to the amino terminus of the mature product. Two other SAA-specific cDNA clones (pA6 and pAlO) differed from pAl in that they lack the internal Pst I restriction enzyme site spanning residues 54-56 of pAl. Thus, there are at least two SAA gene products transcribed during the acute phase response. iSerum amyloid A (SAA) is one of two major inducible human acute phase proteins. SAA is named for the insoluble/3-pleated sheet fibril protein amyloid A (AA) that is probably derived fromSAA by proteolysis at both its amino and car-
