Six new members of the yeast p24 family have been identified and characterized. These six genes, named ERP1-ERP6 (for Emp24p- and Erv25p-related proteins) are not essential, but deletion of ERP1 or ERP2 causes defects in the transport of Gas1p, in the retention of BiP, and deletion of ERP1 results in the suppression of a temperature-sensitive mutation in SEC13 encoding a COPII vesicle coat protein. These phenotypes are similar to those caused by deletion of EMP24 or ERV25, two previously identified genes that encode related p24 proteins. Genetic and biochemical studies demonstrate that Erp1p and Erp2p function in a heteromeric complex with Emp24p and Erv25p. 相似文献

Although many of the proteins involved in the biogenesis of the mammalian peroxisome have already been identified, our knowledge of the architecture of all this machinery is still very limited. In this work we used native gel electrophoresis and sucrose gradient sedimentation analysis in combination with immunoprecipitation experiments to address this issue. After solubilization of rat liver peroxisomes with the mild detergent digitonin, comigration of Pex5p, Pex14p, and a fraction of Pex12p was observed upon native electrophoresis and sucrose gradient sedimentation. The existence of a complex comprising Pex2p, Pex5p, Pex12p, and Pex14p was demonstrated by preparative coimmunoprecipitation experiments using an antibody directed to Pex14p. No stoichiometric amounts of Pex13p were detected in the Pex2p-Pex5p-Pex12p-Pex14p complex, although the presence of a small fraction of Pex13p in this complex could be demonstrated by Western blot analysis. Pex13p is also a component of a high molecular mass complex. Strikingly, partial purification of this Pex13p-containing complex revealed Pex13p as the major (if not the only) component. Taken together, our data indicate that Pex2p, Pex5p, Pex12p, and Pex14p, on one side, and Pex13p, on the other, are subunits of two stable protein complexes that probably interact with each other in the peroxisomal membrane. 相似文献

We report the identification of four additional genes of the Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus involved in expression from a late baculovirus promoter in transient expression assays. Three of these genes, p35, 39K, and p47, have been previously described. The role of the p35 gene product in late gene expression may be related to its ability to block apoptosis, since two other baculovirus genes also known to block apoptosis, Cp-iap and Op-iap, were able to functionally replace p35 in the transient expression assay. The requirement for p47 in this assay confirms its role in late gene expression, a role previously established by characterization of a temperature-sensitive mutant of p47, while the requirement for 39K may be related to its known association with the virogenic stroma. The fourth gene identified as a late expression factor gene, lef-11, was located immediately upstream of 39K and is predicted to encode a 13-kDa polypeptide. When plasmids containing these 4 genes were cotransfected with plasmids containing the 14 genes previously identified as late gene expression factors, the level of expression from the late capsid promoter was similar to that observed for a library of clones representing the entire viral genome. The genes provided by these 18 plasmids thus represent the viral genes necessary and sufficient to support expression from a late viral promoter in this transient expression assay. 相似文献

Recent studies have shown that lung cancer patients frequently suffer inactivation of antioncogenes such as Rb gene (13q14) and p53 gene (17p13). In a study of 48 cases of non-small cell lung cancer (28 squamous-cell carcinomas, 11 adenocarcinomas, 4 large-cell carcinomas, and 5 other types) using restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, we found DNA sequence deletions from chromosomes 1p32-36, 3p21, 11p15.5, and 11q13. The frequencies of allele loss on chromosome 1p, 3p, 11p and 11q are 31, 57, 20 and 49% of informative cases in this patient group, respectively. Of them, 19 tumors show one allele loss and 10 patients suffer two or more allele losses from different chromosomes. 相似文献

In a quest for novel cadherin gene family members in the human dbEST database, an interesting EST clone was identified and chosen for subsequent analysis. Using the technique of 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends, we isolated the complete coding sequence and a large part of the UTRs of a novel gene. The sequence appeared to correspond to the human cadherin-10 gene, whose sequence was only partially known before. The expression pattern of this cadherin was found to be largely brain-specific, with additional expression in both adult and fetal kidney, and with minor expression in prostate and fetal lung. By FISH analysis the genomic location was determined at human chromosome 5p13-14, which is nearby the reported positions of the human cadherin-6, -12, and cadherin-14 (CDH18) genes. Cadherin-10 shows high relationship to the human cadherin-6 gene. 相似文献

We describe a 3.5-year-old Iranian female child and her affected 10-month-old brother with a maternally inherited derivative chromosome 9 [der(9)]. The postnatally detected rearrangement was finely characterized by aCGH analysis, which revealed a 15.056 Mb deletion of 9p22.3-p24.3p22.3 encompassing 14 OMIM morbid genes such as DOCK8, KANK1, DMRT1 and SMARCA2, and a gain of 3.309 Mb on 18p11.31-p11.32 encompassing USP14, THOC1, COLEC12, SMCHD1 and LPIN2. We aligned the genes affected by detected CNVs to clinical and functional phenotypic features using PhenogramViz. In this regard, the patient's phenotype and CNVs data were entered into PhenogramViz. For the 9p deletion CNV, 53 affected genes were identified and 17 of them were matched to 24 HPO terms describing the patient's phenotypes. Also, for CNV of 18p duplication, 22 affected genes were identified and six of them were matched to 13 phenotypes. Moreover, we used DECIPHER for in-depth characterization of involved genes in detected CNVs and also comparison of patient phenotypes with 9p and 18p genomic imbalances. Based on our filtration strategy, in the 9p22.3-p24.3 region, approximately 80 pathogenic/likely pathogenic/uncertain overlapping CNVs were in DECIPHER. The size of these CNVs ranged from 12.01 kb to 18.45 Mb and 52 CNVs were smaller than 1 Mb in size affecting 10 OMIM morbid genes. The 18p11.31-p11.32 region overlapped 19 CNVs in the DECIPHER database with the size ranging from 23.42 kb to 1.82 Mb. These CNVs affect eight haploinsufficient genes. 相似文献

Human chromosome 2 contains large blocks of segmental duplications (SDs), both within and between proximal 2p and proximal 2q, and these may contribute to the frequency of the common variant inversion inv(2)(p11.2q13). Despite their being cytogenetically homogeneous, we have identified four different breakpoint combinations by fluorescence in situ hybridization mapping of 40 cases of inv(2)(p11.2q13) of European origin. For the vast majority of inversions (35/40), the breakpoints fell within the same spanning BACs, which hybridized to both 2p11.2 and 2q13 on the normal and inverted homologues. Sequence analysis revealed that these BACs contain a significant proportion of intrachromosomal SDs with sequence homology to the reciprocal breakpoint region. In contrast, BACs spanning the rare breakpoint combinations contain fewer SDs and with sequence homology only to the same chromosome arm. Using haplotype analysis, we identified a number of related family subgroups with identical or very closely related haplotypes. However, the majority of cases were not related, demonstrating for the first time that the inv(2)(p11.2q13) is a truly recurrent rearrangement. Therefore, there are three explanations to account for the frequent observation of the inv(2)(p11.2q13): the majority have arisen independently in different ancestors, while a minority either have been transmitted from a common founder or have different breakpoints at the molecular cytogenetic level. 相似文献

Mouse Ocp2-rs2 maps to chromosome 11 and encodes an 18.6 kDa peptide abundantly expressed in the organ of Corti. We show that sequences similar to murine Ocp2-rs2 are found on human chromosomes 4p16.2-4p14, 5p13-5q35.2, 7pter-q22, 10 and 12p13-12qter as revealed by Southern blot analyses of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids. A fetal human inner ear cDNA library was screened with a cloned 254 bp PCR product of murine Ocp2-rs2. One of two human cDNA clones (CM1) was sequenced from the 5′ end that begins with murine Ocp2-rs2 codon 14 through the stop codon and 258 nucleotides of 3′-UTR and was found to have the identical deduced amino acid sequence to Ocp2-rs2. Based on the sequence in the 3′-UTR of CM1, a PCR primer pair was synthesized and used to confirm that a human homologue of Ocp2-rs2, designated OCP2 and expressed in the developing human inner ear, is localized to 5q22-5q35.2. Other OCP2-like sequences located on chromosomes 4p16.2-4p14, 7pter-q22 and 12p13-12qter (but not the chromosome 10 OCP2-like sequence) will PCR amplify the expected size product at a lower annealing temperature using the OCP2 3′-UTR PCR primers indicating that there may be a human OCP2 gene family. 相似文献

As the result of the EUROIMAGE Consortium sequencing project, we have isolated and characterized a novel gene on chromosome 15, TM6SF1. It encodes a 370 amino acid product with enhanced expression in spleen, testis and peripheral blood leukocytes. We have identified another gene, paralogous to TM6SF1 on chromosome 19p12, TM6SF2, with an overall similarity of 68% and 52% identity at the protein level. This conservation has led us to uncover a series of eleven genes in 19p13.3-->p12 with close homology to genes in 15q24--> q26. The percentage of sequence similarity between each paralogous pair of genes at the protein level ranges between 43 and 89%. A partial conservation of synteny with mouse chromosomes 7, 8 and 9 is also observed. The corresponding orthologous genes in mouse of human TM6SF1 and TM6SF2 show a high degree of amino acid sequence conservation. 相似文献

Background
Autism is a complex childhood neurodevelopmental disorder with a strong genetic basis. Microdeletion or duplication of a ∼500–700-kb genomic rearrangement on 16p11.2 that contains 24 genes represents the second most frequent chromosomal disorder associated with autism. The role of common and rare 16p11.2 sequence variants in autism etiology is unknown.Methodology/Principal Findings
To identify common 16p11.2 variants with a potential role in autism, we performed association studies using existing data generated from three microarray platforms: Affymetrix 5.0 (777 families), Illumina 550 K (943 families), and Affymetrix 500 K (60 families). No common variants were identified that were significantly associated with autism. To look for rare variants, we performed resequencing of coding and promoter regions for eight candidate genes selected based on their known expression patterns and functions. In total, we identified 26 novel variants in autism: 13 exonic (nine non-synonymous, three synonymous, and one untranslated region) and 13 promoter variants. We found a significant association between autism and a coding variant in the seizure-related gene SEZ6L2 (12/1106 autism vs. 3/1161 controls; p = 0.018). Sez6l2 expression in mouse embryos was restricted to the spinal cord and brain. SEZ6L2 expression in human fetal brain was highest in post-mitotic cortical layers, hippocampus, amygdala, and thalamus. Association analysis of SEZ6L2 in an independent sample set failed to replicate our initial findings.Conclusions/Significance
We have identified sequence variation in at least one candidate gene in 16p11.2 that may represent a novel genetic risk factor for autism. However, further studies are required to substantiate these preliminary findings. 相似文献18.

Several developmentally important genomic regions map within the piebald deletion complex on distal mouse chromosome 14. We have combined computational gene prediction and comparative sequence analysis to characterize an approximately 4.3-Mb segment of the piebald region to identify candidate genes for the phenotypes presented by homozygous deletion mice. As a result we have ordered 13 deletion breakpoints, integrated the sequence with markers from a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) physical map, and identified 16 known or predicted genes and >1500 conserved sequence elements (CSEs) across the region. The candidate genes identified include Phr1 (formerly Pam) and Spry2, which are mouse homologs of genes required for development in Drosophila melanogaster. Gene content, order, and position are highly conserved between mouse chromosome 14 and the orthologous region of human chromosome 13. Our studies combining computational gene prediction with genetic and comparative genomic analyses provide insight regarding the functional composition and organization of this defined chromosomal region. 相似文献

A number of peroxisome-associated proteins have been described that are involved in the import of proteins into peroxisomes, among which is the receptor for peroxisomal targeting signal 1 (PTS1) proteins Pex5p, the integral membrane protein Pex13p, which contains an Src homology 3 (SH3) domain, and the peripheral membrane protein Pex14p. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, both Pex5p and Pex14p are able to bind Pex13p via its SH3 domain. Pex14p contains the classical SH3 binding motif PXXP, whereas this sequence is absent in Pex5p. Mutation of the conserved tryptophan in the PXXP binding pocket of Pex13-SH3 abolished interaction with Pex14p, but did not affect interaction with Pex5p, suggesting that Pex14p is the classical SH3 domain ligand and that Pex5p binds the SH3 domain in an alternative way. To identify the SH3 binding site in Pex5p, we screened a randomly mutagenized PEX5 library for loss of interaction with Pex13-SH3. Such mutations were all located in a small region in the N-terminal half of Pex5p. One of the altered residues (F208) was part of the sequence W(204)XXQF(208), that is conserved between Pex5 proteins of different species. Site-directed mutagenesis of Trp204 confirmed the essential role of this motif in recognition of the SH3 domain. The Pex5p mutants could only partially restore PTS1-protein import in pex5Delta cells in vivo. In vitro binding studies showed that these Pex5p mutants failed to interact with Pex13-SH3 in the absence of Pex14p, but regained their ability to bind in the presence of Pex14p, suggesting the formation of a heterotrimeric complex consisting of Pex5p, Pex14p, and Pex13-SH3. In vivo, these Pex5p mutants, like wild-type Pex5p, were still found to be associated with peroxisomes. Taken together, this indicates that in the absence of Pex13-SH3 interaction, other protein(s) is able to bind Pex5p at the peroxisome; Pex14p is a likely candidate for this function. 相似文献
