The leukocyte adhesion receptors, p150,95, Mac-1 and LFA-1 are integral membrane glycoproteins which contain distinct .alpha. subunits of 180,000-150,000 Mr associated with identical .beta. subunits of 95,000 Mr in .alpha..beta. complexes, p150,95 .alpha. subunit tryptic peptides were used to specify oligonucleotide probes and a cDNA clone of 4.7 kb containing the entire coding sequence was isolated from a size-selected myeloid cell cDNA library. The 4.7-kb cDNA clone encodes a signal sequence, an extracellular domain of 1081 amino acids containing 10 potential glycosylation sites, a transmembrane domain of 26 amino acids, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of 29 residues. The extracellular domain contains three tandem homologous repeats of .apprx. 60 amino acids with putative divalent cationbinding sites, and four weaker repeats which lack such binding sites. The cDNA clone hybridizes with a mRNA of 4.7 kb which is induced during in vitro differentiation of myeloid cell lines. The p150,95 .alpha. subunit is homologous to the .alpha. subunits of receptors which recognize the RGD sequence in extracellular matrix components, as has previously been shown for the .beta. subunits, supporting the concept that receptors involved in both cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions belong to a single gene superfamily termed the integrins. Distinctive features of the p150,95 .alpha. subunit include an insertion of 126 residues N-terminal to the putative metal binding region and a deletion of the region in which the matrix receptors are proteolytically cleaved during processing.
