Plasma cell antigen PC-1 is a surface antigen, the physiological role of which is unknown, expressed at a late stage of B-cell differentiation. The protein is a disulphide-bonded homodimer of a monomer with molecular weight 115000 (1). PC-1 is predicted to be a class II membrane protein with an aminoterminal cytoplasmic domain of 24 amino acids, a transmembrane domain of 21 amino acids and an extracellular domain of 826-828 amino acids (2, 3). The protein is expressed in plasma cells and in some non-lymphoid tissues, namely chondrocytes, salivary gland ducts, epididymis, vas deferens, the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney and in brain capillaries (4). Both human and murine proteins, which show about 80% amino acid identity, have two copies of the somatomedin B domain in the extracellular region adjacent to the transmembrane segment (5, 6). Between residues 479 and 504 is an ATP-binding site (7) and around residue 750 there is an EF-hand motif found in calcium-binding proteins (3, 8). I have observed that PC-1 has a region of high homology to a 61 amino acid cyanogen bromide peptide from bovineintestinal phosphodiesterase I (PPD1, EC 3.1. 4.1) including the active site (9). Both PC-1 protein sequences showed 74% identity to the phosphodiesterase sequence whereas, over the same sequence, the two PC-1 sequences were 97% identical (Figure1). The homology between PC-1 and PPDI has not been described previously, but recently it has been reported (10) that purified murine PC-1 protein has phosphodiesterase I activity. Rat intestinal nucleotide pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6. 1.9) has also been reported to have phosphodiesterase I activity (11). Recently, 16 peptide fragments ofa threonine-specific protein kinase from bovine liver were shown to have 80-100% homology to PC-1 (7). Like human and murine PC-1, this presumed bovine PC-I has a serine at residue 210, unlike PPD1 which has a threonine. Given the lack of expression of PC-I in the murine intestine (4) it is therefore unlikely that PPD1 represents bovine PC-1.The only other example of phosphodiesterase I (EC 3.1. 4.1) in the databases, gene D15from bacteriophage T5 (12, NBRF NCBPT5, also in Swiss-Prot as Exo $ bpt5, a 5'exonuclease, EC 3.1. 11.3), shows no significant homology to PC-1 or PPD1 (Yeast phosphodiesterase, NBRF A26649, is a cAMP phosphodiesterase and should therefore be EC 3.1. 4.17). There is, however, limited homology of the sequence around D15 threonine 118 with the sequence around the active sitethreonine 39 of PPD1, in particular the presence of the threonine residue in the tri-peptide TFP. A search of the databases for the motif shown in Figure 2, using the SCRUTINEER program (13),
