cDNA [complementary DNA] clones were isolated encoding human apolipoprotein (apo) A-I. Twenty putative apo A-I cDNA clones were selected by screening 10,000 clones of an adult human liver cDNA library with an oligonucleotide probe. The probe was a mixture of synthetic 14-base-long DNA oligomers constructed to correspond to the codons for apo A-I amino acids 105-109. Four of these clones were examined further and showed 600- to 800-base-pair (bp) inserts. Preliminary restriction mapping and partial DNA sequence analysis indicated that the shorter inserts were a subset of the longer DNA inserts. DNA sequence analysis of the clone with an insert of .apprxeq. 600 bp, designated pAI-113, revealed that it contained a DNA sequence corresponding to apo A-I amino acids 92-243. The DNA base sequence of this clone also contained a standard termination codon, polyadenylylation signal and poly(A) tail. Partial DNA sequence of a second clone that contained an 800-bp insert, designated pAI-107, showed that it corresponded to apo A-I amino acids 18-243 and also included the 3'' untranslated region. Isolation of these cDNA clones will facilitate molecular analyses of apolipoproteins in normal and disease [e.g., Tangier disease] states.
