A 1.5 kilobase (kb) cDNA clone containing the entire coding region for a regulatory subunit of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (RI) was isolated from a human testis cDNA library. The cDNA clone encodes a protein of 381 amino acids that shows 98% and 97% homology to the bovine skeletal muscle RI and rat brain RI, respectively. Northern blot analysis demonstrates two major mRNA-species (1.5 and 3.0 kb) in human testis and one mRNA-species (3.0 kb) in human T-lymphocytes. 相似文献

We characterized putative receptors specific for sperm-activating peptide I (SAP-I: GFDLNGGGVG) in spermatozoa of the sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, using both binding and crosslinking techniques. Analysis of the data obtained from the equilibrium binding of a radioiodinated SAP-I analogue [GGGY(125I)-SAP-I] to H. pulcherrimus spermatozoa showed the presence of two classes of receptors specific for SAP-I in the spermatozoa. The incubation of intact spermatozoa as well as sperm tails or sperm membranes prepared from H. pulcherrimus spermatozoa with GGGY(125I)-SAP-I and a chemical crosslinking reagent, disuccinimidyl suberate, resulted in the radiolabelling of a 71 kDa protein. The protein appears to be associated with a 220 kDa wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-binding protein. A cDNA encoding the 71 kDa protein was isolated from a H. pulcherrimus testis cDNA library. The cDNA was 2443 bp long and an open reading frame predicted a protein of 532 amino acids containing a 30-residue amino-terminal signal peptide, followed by the same sequence as the N-terminal sequence of the 71 kDa protein. The amino acid sequence of the matured 71 kDa protein is strikingly similar to the 77 kDa protein of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (95.5% identical) and also similar to cysteine rich domain of a human macrophage scavenger receptor. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that mRNA of 2.6 kb encoding the 71 kDa protein was expressed only in the testis. 相似文献

We isolated a cDNA clone specifically expressed during spermatogenesis from a subtracted cDNA library of mouse testis. The cDNA consisted of 1085 nucleotides and had an open reading frame of 870 nucleotides encoding a putative protein of 290 amino acid residues. Northern blot analysis revealed a 1.2-kilobase mRNA exclusively expressed in the testis in adult mice; the mRNA was first detected late pachytene stage, and expression increased as the animals matured. The protein encoded by the mRNA had a molecular weight of approximately 33 kDa by Western blot analysis, and was localized to occupy the flagella from the connecting piece through the principal piece. We named this newly isolated gene oppo 1, and we suggest that it plays an important role in sperm tail structure and/or sperm movement. 相似文献

Tektins comprise a family of filament-forming proteins that are known to be coassembled with tubulins to form ciliary and flagellar microtubules. A new member of the tektin gene family was cloned from the human fetal brain cDNA library. We hence named it the human TEKTIN1 gene. TEKTIN1 cDNA consists of 1375 bp and has a putative open reading frame encoding 418 amino acids. The predicted protein is 48.3 kDa in size, and its amino acid sequence is 82% identical to that of the mouse, rat, and dog. One conserved peptide RPNVELCRD was observed at position number 323–331 of the amino acid sequence, which is a prominent feature of tektins and is likely to represent a functionally important protein domain. TEKTIN1 gene was mapped to the human chromosome 17 by BLAST search, and at least eight exons were found. Northern blot analysis indicated that TEKTIN1 was predominantly expressed in testis. By in-situ hybridization analysis, TEKTIN1 mRNA was localized to spermatocytes and round spermatids in the seminiferous tubules of the mouse testis, indicating that it may play a role in spermatogenesis. 相似文献

A novel asparaginase-like protein (ALP) of spermatozoa was cloned from rat and human testis cDNA libraries on the basis of reactivity with antibodies produced after vasectomy. Although obstruction of the male reproductive tract is known to cause an immunologic response, few of the sperm antigens responsible for the generation of autoantibodies have been characterized. We are identifying proteins of interest by coring autoantigenic protein spots from two-dimensional (2-D) gels of rat sperm extracts and microsequencing them by mass spectrometry. The peptide sequences from ALP, a 28 kDa, pI 5.7 protein, matched to a single partial length rat EST. These peptide sequences were used to clone a cDNA encoding a novel 333 amino acid open reading frame. The new protein had a similarity to portions of L-asparaginases of plants (43%) and to glycosylasparaginases in animal cells (32%). Human ALP cDNA was subsequently cloned. It showed 77% identity to the rat ALP sequence and the gene, ASRGL1 (asparaginase-like 1), mapped to chromosome locus 11q12.3. Purified recombinant rat ALP (rALP), expressed in E. coli, was used to raise polyclonal antiserum in guinea pigs. Two observations verified that the correct protein had been cloned: 1) the anti-rALP antibody reacted with both rALP and rat sperm; and 2) post-vasectomy sera bound rALP. Anti-rALP antibody stained the midpiece of rat and human sperm coincident with staining by MitoTracker Green FM, suggesting that ALP is associated with the mitochondria. Northern analysis revealed that rat ALP message was abundantly expressed in the testis but was also present in heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle, and kidney. 相似文献

Cloning and expression of human cDNA encoding human homologue of pituitary tumor transforming gene. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Recently, a potent transforming gene which was exclusively expressed in rat pituitary tumor but not in normal pituitary had been isolated and named as pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG). A cDNA clone encoding human homologue of rat PTTG was isolated from human fetal liver cDNA library. It contained an open reading frame of 603 base pairs predicting a protein composed of 201 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 26 kDa. The deduced protein showed about 85% homology (78% identity, 7% favored substitution) with the rat PTTG. Northern blot analysis showed that the cDNA hybridized to 1.0 kb mRNA species which was expressed in fetal liver and several cancer cell lines. These results suggest that the presence of the human homologue of rat PTTG gene may not be restricted to pituitary tumor. 相似文献

Complementary DNA clones for the regulatory subunit RI beta of cAMP-dependent protein kinases were isolated from a human testis cDNA library using a mouse RI beta cDNA probe. One clone 2.4 kilobases (kb) in length contained an open reading frame of 1137 bases, and encoded a protein of 379 amino acids (excluding the initiator methionine). The human RI beta protein was one amino acid shorter than the corresponding protein in mouse and rat. The nucleotide similarity to mouse and rat sequences was 85.6% and 84.8%, respectively, while the amino acid similarity was 97.6% and 97.3%, respectively. Northern blot analyses revealed a 2.7 kb mRNA in human tissues and a 2.8 kb mRNA in mouse tissues. Both mouse and human RI beta mRNA were found to be expressed in most tissues, and not restricted to brain and testis as reported by others. 相似文献

We have used a rat pachytene spermatocyte cDNA expression library to clone TBP-1 (for tat-binding protein-1; designated rat testis TBP-1 [rtTBP-1]), a new member of the family of putative ATPases associated with the 26S proteasome complex. The 1.63 kb rtTBP-1 cDNA encodes a 49 kDa protein with 99% amino acid identity to human TBP-1 protein. rtTBP-1 protein contains a heptad repeat of six leucine-type zipper fingers at the amino terminal end and highly conserved ATPase and DNA/RNA helicase motifs towards the carboxyl terminal region. Chromatofocusing fractionation of rat testis sucrose extracts demonstrates that the encoded product, recognized by an antiserum raised to the first 196 amino acids of human TBP-1, consists of a protein triplet with a molecular mass range of 52-48 kDa and acidic pI (5.0–5.9). An identical immunoreactive triplet was detected by immunoblotting in extracts of fractionated pachytene spermatocytes, round spermatids and epididymal sperm. In situ hybridization using digoxigenin-labeled antisense RNA probes shows a predominant distribution of specific mRNA in the seminiferous epithelial region occupied by elongating spermatids and primary spermatocytes. Indirect immunofluorescence and immunogold electron microscopy studies show that rtTBP-1 immunoreactive sites colocalize with α-tubulin-decorated manchettes of elongating spermatids. In addition, rtTBP-1 immunoreactivity was detected in fibrillar and granular cytoplasmic bodies typically observed in spermatocytes and spermatids as well as in association with paraaxonemal mitochondria and outer dense fibers of the developing spermatid tail. Results of this study indicate that rtTBP-1 is a member of the highly evolutionary conserved TBP-1-like subfamily of putative ATPases, sharing regions of identity—including ATP-binding sites—with several subunits of the 26S proteasome, known to be involved in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins.

In this study, we report the isolation and characterization of a full-length cDNA clone for the hormone-inducible regulatory subunit RII beta (formerly called RII51) of type II cAMP-dependent protein kinase from a human testis cDNA library. The cloned cDNA demonstrated tissue-specific expression of RII beta mRNA in human tissues, with the highest mRNA levels in testis and ovary. The isolated human cDNA clone was 3.3 kilobases (kb) in length and contained 166 base pairs (bp) of G/C-rich 5'-noncoding sequence, an open reading frame of 1254 bp and an A/T-rich 3'-nontranslated region containing 1836 bp followed by an 89 nucleotide long poly(A)-tail. The predicted protein contains 418 amino acids including the start methionine, and the estimated mol wt of human RII beta is 53,856. The nucleotide sequence within the open reading frame and the predicted amino acid sequence of human RII beta are highly conserved compared with partial rat RII beta sequences, displaying 91% and 97% similarity, respectively. Codon preference analysis of the cloned cDNA sequence indicated that the two cAMP-binding domains and the hinge region are highly conserved through evolution, whereas the dimerization domain displayed a codon preference pattern indicative of appearance at a later stage of evolution. The isolated human cDNA detected an FSH- and cAMP-inducible mRNA of 3.2 kb in rat Sertoli cells, thus confirming that the cloned cDNA represents the hormone-inducible regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. This is the first report documenting the isolation of a full-length cDNA clone for the RII beta of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. 相似文献
