Interspecies comparison and alignment of the beta-casein N-terminal sequence, taking into account its exon modular splitting derived from the known structural organization of the relevant genes, has revealed that a 9 amino acid residue sequence, corresponding to that encoded by the third exon of the other species genes, is lacking in human beta-casein. Using the polymerase chain reaction technique, we have amplified a human genomic 1-kb fragment, spanning from exon 2 to exon 4, which was subsequently cloned and sequenced. One hundred base pairs (bp) upstream from exon 4 and 737 bp downstream of exon 2, a 27-bp virtual exon 3 sequence, probably skipped during the course of pre-mRNA splicing, was identified. We discuss the possibility that this out-splicing event might be due to the weak strength of the 3' acceptor site and/or to the secondary structure sequestering of the branch site sequence. 相似文献

The complete sequence of a 1072 nucleotide rat beta-casein cDNA insertion in the hybrid plasmid pC beta 23 has been determined. Primer extension was employed to determine the sequence of an additional 82 5'-terminal nucleotides in beta-casein mRNA. Rat beta-casein mRNA consists of a 696 nucleotide coding region, flanked by 52 nucleotide 5' and 406 nucleotide 3' noncoding regions, including a 40 nucleotide poly(A) tail. The derived 216 amino acid sequence of rat beta-casein was compared to the previously determined sequences of beta-caseins from several other species. Approximately 38% of the amino acids have been conserved among the rat, ovine, bovine and human sequences and these conserved amino acids occurred in clusters throughout the protein. One such cluster containing the majority of the potential casein phosphorylation sites was located near the amino terminus. Contrary to the considerable divergence observed for the processed beta-casein, 14 of 15 amino acids in the signal peptide sequence of the precasein were identical between the rat and ovine caseins. 相似文献

A notable difficulty in annotating genomic sequence is identifying the correct start codon in a gene. An important such case has been found with KRIT1, the cerebral cavernous malformation type 1 (CCM1) gene. Analysis of human and mouse genomic sequence encompassing the region containing KRIT1/Krit1 using exon/gene-prediction and comparative alignment programs revealed putative exons upstream of the previously described first exon. These additional candidate exons show significant matches to mouse and human ESTs that are contiguous with and extend upstream from the previously designated 5' end of the KRIT1 cDNA sequence. RT-PCR and 5'RACE experiments confirm the presence of four additional upstream coding exons that encode an additional 207 amino acids. Importantly, a novel frameshift mutation in one of these newly identified KRIT1 exons has been found in a CCM1 family. These data establish the authentic KRIT1 amino acid sequence and suggest that the additional KRIT1 exons may harbor mutations in other CCM1 families. In addition, these results provide another example of the utility of rigorous computational and comparative sequence analysis for refining gene structure. 相似文献

Structure of the murine immune response I-A beta locus: sequence of the I-A beta gene and an adjacent beta-chain second domain exon 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The murine major histocompatibility complex I region encodes two class II antigens, I-A and I-E. From a mouse spleen DNA cosmid library of the b haplotype, we isolated a clone containing the entire I-A beta gene and a separate exon encoding a beta-chain second domain (A beta 2). The A beta gene, encompassing more than 6 kb, is encoded by six exons corresponding to the different domains of the A beta polypeptide. The translated A beta amino acid sequence displays 73% homology to human DC beta chains; homologies to other subsets of human beta chains are lower, establishing that I-A corresponds structurally to DC. The A beta 2 exon is about 20 kb centromeric to the A beta gene. Its translated amino acid sequence includes all the conserved amino acids of other class II beta-chain second domains. It shows about 60% homology to each of three subsets of human beta chains available for comparison, and to the A beta chain. No A beta 2 first domain exon has been detected with A beta or DC beta probes. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequences corresponding to bovine alpha S2- and beta- casein
mRNAs have been determined by cDNA analysis. Both sequences appear to be
complete at their 5' ends. The nucleotide sequence of alpha S2-casein, when
compared with the corresponding cavine A sequence, helps to define the
boundaries of a large amino acid repeat (approximately 80 residues) whereas
comparisons with the nucleotide sequences of rat gamma- and mouse
epsilon-casein mRNAs also reveal extensive sequence similarities. An
alignment of these four sequences shows that the divergence of their
translated regions has been characterized by the duplication and deletion
of discrete segments of sequence that probably correspond to exons. A high
degree of nucleotide substitution is also found when the four sequences are
compared, except for well-conserved leader-peptide and phosphorylation-site
sequences and, to a lesser extent, the 5'-untranslated regions. Similar
comparison of the bovine and rat beta-caseins shows that their divergence
has involved a high rate of nucleotide substitution but that no major
insertions or deletions of sequence have occurred. The several splice sites
that have veen defined in the rat beta-casein gene are likely to have been
conserved in the bovine. The contrasting evolutionary histories of the
alpha- and beta-casein coding sequences correlate with the distinctive
functions of these proteins in the casein micelle system in milk.

The rat casein multigene family. Fine structure and evolution of the beta-casein gene 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

Eight overlapping phage clones, spanning 34.4 kilobase pairs of genomic DNA, containing the 7.2-kilobase pair rat beta-casein gene have been isolated and characterized. The first 510 base pairs (bp) of 5' flanking, 110 bp of 3' flanking, and all the exon/intron junctions have been sequenced. The beta-casein gene contains 9 exons ranging in size from 21 to 525 bp. We have attempted to identify potential regulatory elements by searching for regions of sequence homology shared between milk protein genes which respond similarly to lactogenic hormones and by searching for previously reported hormone receptor-binding sites. Within the conserved first 200 bp of 5' flanking sequences 3 regions of greater than 70% homology were observed between the rat beta- and gamma-casein genes. One of these contains a region 90% homologous to the chicken progesterone receptor-binding site. The conserved 5' noncoding region, the highly conserved signal peptide, and the hydrophobic carboxyl-terminal region of the protein are each encoded by a separate exon. In contrast the evolutionarily conserved phosphorylation site of beta-casein is formed by an RNA-splicing event. The exons which encode the phosphorylation sites of beta-casein appear to have resulted from an intragenic duplication. Based upon the exon structure of the casein genes, an evolutionary model of intragenic and intergenic exon duplications for this gene family is proposed. 相似文献

The cDNA sequence and chromosomal location of the murine GABAA alpha 1 receptor gene. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The murine GABAA/benzodiazepine (GABAA/BZ) receptor alpha 1 subunit cDNA has been isolated from a BALB/c mouse brain library and sequenced. The cDNA is 2665 nucleotides long with an open reading frame of 455 amino acids. It shows significant homology to the GABAA receptor alpha 1 subunit cDNA sequences of other species. Excluding deletions, the murine GABAA alpha 1 receptor exhibits 96% nucleotide and 100% amino acid sequence homology to the rat alpha 1 receptor cDNA and over 91% nucleotide and 98% amino acid sequence homology to the bovine and human alpha 1 receptor cDNAs in the protein coding region. This murine cDNA was used to locate the alpha 1 receptor subunit gene, Gabra-1, to murine Chromosome 11 between Il-3 and Rel. This assignment extends proximally the segment of mouse Chromosome 11 with known homology to human chromosome 5. 相似文献

Human cellular src gene: nucleotide sequence and derived amino acid sequence of the region coding for the carboxy-terminal two-thirds of pp60c-src. 总被引:20,自引:14,他引:6 下载免费PDF全文

The nucleotide sequence of the 3' two-thirds of a highly conserved, molecularly cloned human cellular src gene (c-src) has been determined. This region of the c-src gene encodes the tyrosine kinase domain of the cellular src protein (pp60c-src) and corresponds to exons 6 through 12 of the chicken c-src gene, as well as nucleotides 545 to 1542 of the Rous sarcoma virus src gene (v-src). The human c-src sequence is very strongly conserved with respect to both the chicken c-src and the Rous sarcoma virus v-src genes, with nearly 90% nucleotide homology observed in this region. Amino acid sequence conservation in this region is even greater; 98% of the amino acids are conserved between human and chicken c-src. Furthermore, the exon sizes and the locations of the exon-intron boundaries are identical in the human and chicken c-src genes. However, sequences within the introns have not been conserved, and the introns within the human c-src gene are significantly larger than the corresponding introns within the chicken c-src gene. The strong amino acid conservation between the carboxy-terminal two-thirds of pp60c-src of species as divergent as humans and chickens suggests that this portion of the pp60c-src protein specifies one or more functional domains that are of great importance to some aspect of normal cellular growth or differentiation. 相似文献

Recently, human chromosome band 3p21.3 was shown to undergo overlapping homozygous deletions in several small cell lung cancer
lines further defining a putative tumor suppressor gene(s) region. We report the cloning and mutational analysis of a novel
human gene, SKMc15, from the commonly homozygously deleted region in three small cell lung cancer lines (NCI-H1450, NCI-H740,
GLC20). It has 11 exons ranging in size from 50 to 541 bp with an open reading frame of 442 amino acids. The gene covers 7
to 10 kb of genomic DNA; the message of 1.8 to 2 kb is expressed in all analyzed fetal and adult human and mouse tissues including
heart, brain, placenta, lung liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, testis and pancreas and in small cell and non-small cell cancer
lines. The intron/exon boundaries were used to analyze the gene for mutations by exon PCR-SSCP sequencing in 60 small cell
lung cancer cell lines. No loss-of-function mutations were detected. The cDNA sequence has high homology, 75% at the protein
level, to the rat early response gene PC4 and its murine homolog TIS7. In addition, the known partial sequence of the putative
mouse interferon β2 (64 amino acids) gene is highly conserved in PC4/TIS7 (94%) and in SKMc15 (83%) at the amino acid level.
The sequence TAAAT, which is thought to be involved in mRNA degradation, is present in the 3′ UTR of SKMc15 and in the 3′
UTR of PC4 and TIS7 genes.

Molecular analysis of human complement component C5: localization of the structural gene to chromosome 9 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A human C5 clone (pC5HG2) was isolated from a cDNA library constructed from Hep G2 mRNA. The DNA sequence showed that the pC5HG2 insert was comprised of 3309 base pairs of pro-C5 coding sequence and 404 base pairs of 3'-untranslated sequence. The derived amino acid sequence contained the entire coding sequence of the C5 alpha-chain, the beta-alpha-chain junction region, and 100 amino acids (approximately 50%) of the beta-chain. Protein sequences of four C5 tryptic peptides were aligned exactly to this sequence and demonstrated that C5 synthesized and secreted by Hep G2 cells is probably identical with plasma-derived C5. Coding sequence alignment of the human C5 sequences with those of murine C5 indicated that 80% of the nucleotides and 79% of the amino acids were placed identically in the two species. Amino acid sequence alignment of the homologous family members C3, C4, and alpha 2-macroglobulin with that of C5 demonstrated 27%, 25%, and 19% identity, respectively. As was found in murine C5, the corresponding thiol ester region of human C5 contained several conserved amino acids, but the critical cysteine and glutamine residues which give rise to the intramolecular thiol ester bond in C3, C4, and alpha 2-macroglobulin were absent in C5, having been replaced by serine and alanine, respectively. With the use of a panel of hamster-human somatic cell hybrids, the C5 gene was mapped to human chromosome 9. In situ chromosomal hybridization studies employing metaphase cells further localized the gene to bands 9q32-34, with the largest cluster of grains at 9q34.1. 相似文献
