Dominic W. Chung, Wai-Yee Chan, 5 and Earl W. Davie** abstract: A number of cDNAs coding for the 7 chain of human fibrinogen havebeen isolated from a liver cDNA li-brary by employing a synthetic nucleotide mixture as a probe. One of the positive clones was then employed to screen the entire cDNA library of 18 000 recombinants, yielding 320 positive clones for the 7 chain. The largest cDNA was 1638 base pairs in length and contained 10 base pairs of poly (G) at the 5'-end followed by 71 base pairs of noncoding nucleotides. The next 78 base pairs coded for a leader sequence that was 26 amino acids in length and included a methionine start signal and a typical hydrophobic core. The following 1233 base pairs coded for 411 amino acids that are present in the mature protein followed by a stop codon of TAA, 207 base pairs of noncoding nucleotides, a poly (A) track of 15 base pairs, and 22base pairs of poly (C). Specific regions of the cDNA of the 7 chain were then compared with the cDNAs for the a and 8 chains of human fibrinogen. e 7 chain of human fibrinogen (Mr 46 500) consists of 411 amino acids (Lottspeich & Henschen, 1977; Henschen & Lottspeich, 1977) and a single carbohydrate chain linked to Asn-52 (Iwanaga et al., 1968). Two 7 chains, together with two a and two 8 chains, are cross-linked by intrachain disulfide bonds and form a distended polydomainal structure containing three nodules. An internal portion of the 7 chain (amino acid residues 24-134) is bounded by unique cystine residues and is located in the interdomainal connecting structure linking the three nodules (Doolittle et al., 1978). The carboxyl-ter-
