Abstract:
C5-deficient mice differed from C5-sufficient mice both quantitatively and qualitatively in C5 protein, C5 mRNA, and the C5 gene. C5-deficient protein was present as decreased amounts of an unprocessed, single-chain precursor. C5-deficient mRNA was decreased in amount and present in two forms, the smaller of which was the same as the single form in normal cells. Nuclei from both normal and deficient cells contained the larger form of C5 mRNA, and C5-deficient DNA demonstrated differences from the normal pattern on Southern analysis for two restriction enzymes. These data suggest that the primary transcript of the C5-deficient gene is abnormal, retarding the processing of the C5 mRNA, and that the C5-deficient mRNA codes for an abnormal protein.
