Using a 61-mer oligonucleotide probe based on the amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme, several overlapping cDNA clones were isolated from a bovine heart cDNA library. A full-length clone was obtained consisting of a 27-bp 5'noncoding region, an open reading frame encoding theexpected 157 amino acid protein, and an extensive 3'nontranslated sequence. The identification of the clone as full length was consistent with results obtained in mRNA blotting experiments using poly (A)+ mRNA from bovine heart. The coding sequence was placed downstream of a bacteriophage T7 promoter, and protein was expressed in E. coli. The expressed enzyme was soluble, and catalytically active and was readily isolated and purified. The recombinant protein had the expected Mr of 18 000 (estimated by SDS-PAGE), and it showed cross-reactivity with antisera that had been raised against both the bovine heart and the human placenta enzymes. The amino acid sequence of the N-terminal region of the expressed protein showed that methionine had been removed, resulting in a sequence identical to that of the enzyme isolated from thebovine tissue, with the exception that the N-terminal alanine of the protein from tissue is acetylated. A kinetically competent phosphoenzyme intermediate was trapped from a phosphatase-catalyzed reaction. Using 31P NMR, the covalent intermediate was identified as a cysteinyl phosphate. By analogy with the nomenclature used for serine esterases, these enzymes may be called cysteine phosphatases.
