The short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) play important roles in body's metabolism. We cloned a novel mouse SDR cDNA which encodes a deduced HSD-like protein with a conserved SDR domain and a SCP2 domain. The 1.8 kb cDNA consists of 11 exons and is mapped to mouse chromosome 4B3. The corresponding gene is widely expressed in normal mouse tissues and its expression level in liver increases after inducement with cholesterol food. The predicted mouse HSDL2 protein, which has a peroxisomal target signal, is localized in the cytoplasm of NIH 3T3 cells.  相似文献

Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSDs) are responsible for the biosynthesis of steroid hormones and play a crucial role in mammalian physiology and development. By large-scale sequencing analysis of a human fetal brain cDNA library, we isolated a novel human hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-like cDNA (HSDL2). This cDNA is 3211 bp in length, encoding a 418–amino-acid polypeptide, which contains a typical motif for NAD(P)+-binding (TGxxxGxG), an SDR active site motif (S-Y-K) and a sterol carrier protein domain. HSDL2 shows high similarity with the homologues in the mouse and fruit fly. The HSDL2 gene is mapped to chromosome 9q32 and contains 11 exons. RT-PCR analysis shows that the HSDL2 gene is widely expressed in human tissues and the expression levels in liver, kidney, prostate, testis, and ovary are relatively high.  相似文献

A cDNA clone encoding a small cysteine and serine-rich basic protein has been isolated from a mouse testis cDNA library. This cDNA clone encodes the mouse homologue of a protein involved in the initial phases of condensation of chromatin during spermiogenesis in rats, TP2, based on similarities in the sequence of the carboxyl terminus, composition, molecular weight, and electrophoretic mobility. Mouse TP2 can be divided into a highly basic domain comprising about one-third of the polypeptide chain at the carboxyl terminus and a much less basic domain comprising the remaining two-thirds at the amino terminus. The 5' end of the mouse TP2 mRNA contains two in-phase initiation codons both of which may be used generating two polypeptides which differ in length at the amino terminus. Southern blots demonstrate that there is a single copy of the TP2 gene in the mouse genome and Northern blots demonstrate that the polyadenylated TP2 mRNA is present at high and essentially equal levels in early and late haploid cells, and that it is virtually absent from meiotic cells.  相似文献

采用生物信息学工具预测与实验相结合的方法得到了一个新的小鼠分泌蛋白基因mBolA1。该基因定位于染色体3F2,cDNA全长为730bp,编码137个氨基酸的蛋白,该蛋白含有一个保守的BolA结构域,等电点为9.05。用RT-PCR方法从鼠的混合cDNA库中克隆到mBolA1。Western blot实验表明mBolA1能从瞬转的COS 7细胞中分泌到细胞培养液中。亚细胞定位显示mBolA1定位于细胞浆,且与高尔基体不共定位,提示它是个非经典分泌途径的分泌蛋白。RT PCR显示mBolA1在组织中广泛表达。它的具体功能有待进一步研究。  相似文献

Arabidopsis proteins were predicted which share an 80 residue zinc finger domain known from ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase-activating proteins (ARF GAPs). One of these is a 37 kDa protein, designated ZAC, which has a novel domain structure in which the N-terminal ARF GAP domain and a C-terminal C2 domain are separated by a region without homology to other known proteins. Zac promoter/-glucuronidase reporter assays revealed highest expression levels in flowering tissue, rosettes and roots. ZAC protein was immuno-detected mainly in association with membranes and fractionated with Golgi and plasma membrane marker proteins. ZAC membrane association was confirmed in assays by a fusion between ZAC and the green fluorescence protein and prompted an analysis of the in vitro phospholipid-binding ability of ZAC. Phospholipid dot-blot and liposome-binding assays indicated that fusion proteins containing the ZAC-C2 domain bind anionic phospholipids non-specifically, with some variance in Ca2+ and salt dependence. Similar assays demonstrated specific affinity of the ZAC N-terminal region (residues 1–174) for phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate (PI-3-P). Binding was dependent in part on an intact zinc finger motif, but proteins containing only the zinc finger domain (residues 1–105) did not bind PI-3-P. Recombinant ZAC possessed GTPase-activating activity on Arabidopsis ARF proteins. These data identify a novel PI-3-P-binding protein region and thereby provide evidence that this phosphoinositide is recognized as a signal in plants. A role for ZAC in the regulation of ARF-mediated vesicular transport in plants is discussed.  相似文献

Cystatins are cysteine proteinase inhibitors. We found two expression sequence tags (ESTs), CA463109 and AV042522, from a mouse testis library using Digital differential display (DDD). By electrical hybridization, a novel gene, Cymg1 (GenBank accession No. AY600990), which has a full length of 0.78kb, and contains four exons and three introns, was cloned from a mouse testis cDNA library. The gene is located in the 2G3 area of chromosome 2. The full cDNA encompasses the entire open reading frame, encoding 141 amino acid residues. The protein has a cysteine protease inhibitor domain that is related to the family 2 cystatins but lacks critical consensus sites important for cysteine protease inhibition. These characteristics are seen in the CRES subfamily, which are related to the family 2 cystatins and are expressed specifically in the male reproductive tract. CYMG1 has a 44% (48/108) identity with mouse CRES and 30% (42/140) identity with mouse cystatin C. Northern blot analysis showed that the Cymg1 is specifically expressed in adult mouse testes. Cell location studies showed that the GFP-tagged CYMG1 protein was localized in the cytoplasm of HeLa cells. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the CYMG1 protein was expressed in mouse testes spermatogonium, spermatocytes, round spermatids, elongating spermatids and spermatozoa. RT-PCR results also showed that Cymg1 was expressed in mouse testes and spermatogonium. The Cymg1 expression level varied in different developmental stages: it was low 1 week postpartum, steadily increased 2 to 5 weeks postpartum, and was highest 7 weeks postpartum. The expression level at 5 weeks postpartum was maintained during 13 to 57 weeks postpartum. The Cymg1 expression level in the testes over different developmental stages correlates with the mouse spermatogenesis and sexual maturation process. All these indicate that Cymg1 might play an important role in mouse spermatogenesis and sexual maturation.  相似文献

This report documents the characterization of a novel mouse oocyte protein which was originally identified by microsequence analysis of a 67.8 kDa protein spot (pI 5.7) on a Coomassie-stained two-dimensional (2D) gel of murine egg proteins. Tandem mass spectroscopic analysis of the peptides obtained from the cored protein yielded sequences that appeared to match only ovary, egg, and preimplantation embryo cDNAs. We then cloned the novel gene by RACE-PCR, and analysis of the deduced cDNA sequence found that this maternal product was ∼56% identical to human cytosolic phospholipase A2γ (cPLA2γ). Based on this sequence homology, we named the molecule mouse cytosolic phospholipase A2γ (cPLA2γ). As with human cPLA2γ, mouse cPLA2γ contains a lipase consensus sequence and lacks the calcium binding domain that is found in other PLA2 proteins. However, mouse cPLA2γ is different from human cPLA2γ in that mouse cPLA2γ expression is restricted to the ovary and that the protein does not contain the myristoylation and prenylation lipid-anchoring motifs that are present in human cPLA2γ. Within oocytes, mouse cPLA2γ localizes mainly to the oocyte cortex and to the nucleoplasm. Interestingly, during germinal vesicle breakdown, mouse cPLA2γ aggregates dynamically relocate from the oocyte cortex to the nuclear envelope, suggesting a possible role for this putative egg-restricted phospholipase A2γ in membrane remodeling. Furthermore, mouse cPLA2γ protein continues to be expressed in the embryo until the 4-8-cell stage of development, suggesting that mouse cPLA2γ may function as a previously uncharacterized maternal effect gene.  相似文献

The cDNA encoding the kuruma shrimp, Marsupenaeus japonicus alpha(2)-macroglobulin (alpha(2)M) was obtained by screening a haemocyte cDNA library and 5' RACE PCR amplification. The full length cDNA of 4748 bp contains an open reading frame of 4518 nucleotides that translates into a 1505-amino acid putative peptide, with a 5'untranslated region (UTR) of 59 bp and a 3'UTR of 171 bp. The open reading frame encodes an N-terminal signal sequence of 17 residues and a mature protein of 1488 residues. The entire amino acid sequence is similar to the alpha(2)M sequences of arthropods (30-31% identity), mammals (26-27% identity) and fish (25-28% identity). The M. japonicus alpha(2)M sequence contains putative functional domains including a bait region, an internal thiol ester site, and a receptor-binding domain, which are present in mammalian alpha(2)Ms. In a healthy shrimp, the mRNA of alpha(2)M was mainly expressed in haemocytes. In addition, the expression level of alpha(2)M mRNA was dramatically increased by through time upon oral administration of peptidoglycan (PG), which is an immune stimulant. The highest expression of alpha(2)M mRNA was observed 7 days after feeding with PG. These results suggest that the shrimp alpha(2)M is an important molecule in immune system.  相似文献
