Biochemisch Laboratorium, The University Nijenborgh 16, 9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands
Received December 15, 1980.
The nucleotide sequence of an almost complete, doublestranded cDNA of chicken Very Low Density Lipoprotein II mRNA, carried in recombinant plasmid pVLDLII 3.33 (Wieringa et al., 1979, 7: 21472163) is presented. A stretch of 318 nucleotides codes for the pre-VLDLII polypeptide, which consists of a 24 amino acids signal and a 82 amino acids secreted protein. The coding stretch is flanked by 57 nucleotides in the 5'-leader sequence of the mRNA, and 258 nucleotides in the 3'-non-coding region. Hypothetical selfcomplementary structures of parts of the mRNA are presented.
