The $ beta$-tubulin gene family of the parasitic nematode, Brugia pahangi consists of three to five $ beta$-tubulin sequences. Two genomic clones containing $ beta$-tubulin sequences were isolated and characterized. The $ beta$1-tubulin gene spans 3.8 kb, is organized into 9 exons and expresses an mRNA of 1.7 kb which codes for a protein of 448 amino acids. A partial nucleotide sequence of the second clone confirmed the isolation of a distinct $ beta$-tubulin sequence, $ beta$2-tubulin. The $ beta$1-tubulin transcript is found in microfilariae and adult worms, whereas the $ beta$2-tubulin transcript is predominant in male adult worms but absent from microfilariae. Results of this study also indicate that the maturation of the $ beta$1-tubulin message involves the acquisition of the conserved nematode 22-nucleotide splice leader sequence. Antipeptide IgGs raised against the divergent carboxy-terminal region of $ beta$1-tubulin recognize the same $ beta$-tubulin isoform pattern as a phylum cross-reactive monoclonal antibody. This result suggests that the $ beta$1-tubulin is highly represented in B. pahangi adults and microfilariae.
