The lymphocyte-function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), the complement receptor type 3 (R3) and the antigen p150,95 are cell-surfce glycoproteins. They are heterodimeric complexes, each containing a unique .alpha.-subunit noncovalently associated with a common .beta.-subunit. We have purified the .beta.-subunit from human spleen and obtained limited peptide sequences. What appears to be the complete primary structure for the fully processed .beta.-subunit was obtained by cDNA sequencing of clones from a phorbol ester (PMA) stimulated U937 cDNA library. There are five possible glycosylation sites and a transmembrane segment. The sequence contains a high level of cysteine (7.6%), with 24 of the 57 cysteine residues being found in three repeating units each with eight residues. The entire primary structure has 47% identity to a subunit of a fibronectin binding protein from chicken fibroblasts. It seems that LFA-1, CR3 and p150,95 antigens may belong to an extended family of cell surface molecules including the fibronectin binding protein.
