Rat intestinal alkaline phosphatase (lAP) has been pmilied and Woteolytic fragments sequenced. A eDNA h'larmT was constructed from duodenal poly(A)* RNA and screened for lAP positive clones by a f~l-length eDNA ¢kmc--eocot~l~ human lAP. A full length rat LAP ~ (2237 bp) was isolated and sequenced, revealing a Ixt,dicled wimm~ el 519 amino acids (61.974 kDa) with an additional .signal peptide oi 20 amino acids. 80% el amino acids from residms 1-474 were identical when compared with the human lAP, but there was ~ 31% idcnti~ in the COOg-i-4~mlnal 45 amino acids. The homo~gy diverges just belore the putative binding site for the phosphatid~linositoi-gl~ca~ (PI-gl~am) anchor. The resulting peptide in rat AP cootaias five hy(bophili¢ amino midis not larese~ in the imimmy slmt'ttm~ el human lAP. Binding el a synthetic 4g.mer encoding • portion el this unique aml divergem rngim (reskk.s 476-491) was compared with that of the full-length clone on Norlhem ~ of ra[ i m ~ RNA. Two aaRNAs, 3.0 / 2.7 klk were detected by both prolxes, confirming earlier results, but the 4g.ater bound prd,,eminll~ to the 3.0 kb mRNA. Tim protein produe/el the f u l l - k ~ h eDNA in a eeB-free syslem was 62 ki)a, ~ with the smaller e l ~ two lAP proteins wodm-ed by rat duodenal RNA. The eDNA tnmsfecled into COS-I cells imadut'ed • lAP *dust was released by phesl~batidylinositol-sfecific phospholilmse (PI-PLC). These data provide definitive that lAP is am-lmr~ by Pl-glycan and conclusively demonstrate that the unique COOH-terminal structure encoded 19. this rat mRNA suptmrts the addition o[ a Pl-glycan anchor.

Introduction Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (lAP) in the rat is unique among mammalian IAPs in that much activity is released into the serum during fasting and following fat feeding [1,2]. Consistent with this enhanced secretion is the production of two lAP products from cell-free translation of rat intestinal mRNA, 62 and 65 kDa 131. and the presence of two mRNAs, 3.0 and 2.7 kb dete~ted by using a human PLAP probe [4].

work suggested that the 62 kDa cell-free product might correspond with the tissue-'soluble" form (58-60 kDa) and the serum lAP, whereas the 65 kDa prt~luct was the membrane-bound tissue lAP. Rat lAP is released from membranes by PI-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) and is probably attached :o the membrane via a P! glycan anchor, as is the case for other alkaline pho:-.~hatases (AP) [5]. However. the amount of rat lAP released from the membrane by PI-PLC is not as great as for other APs, raising the possibility that rat IAP may be anchored in the m ~ n brane by other means [6]. Delineation of the primary structure of h u m a n APs has not allowed prediction of the attachment site for the Pl-glycan anchor, nor for the portion of the COOH-terminus of the protein necessary for such processing [5]. Asp-484 is the anchoring residue for human piacemat ~ r trLAP), and aspaJLic acid, serine and cysteine have been reported as anchoring sites in other proteins [7]. A sequence of hydrophobic residues in the COOH terminus of nascent PLAP seems required fol processing of the phosphatidylinositof glycan anchor [7]. The secreted rat IAP may be pro-
