Low-affinity receptors (Fc epsilon R) and secreted factors (IgE-BF) which bind to immunoglobulins of the IgE isotype play a key role in the regulation of human IgE synthesis. We report here the cloning of a cDNA coding for the Fc epsilon R of the human B-lymphoblast cell line RPMI 8866. The nucleotide sequence of this cDNA predicts a polypeptide with 321 amino acids and a mol. wt of 36,281 daltons. A functional Fc epsilon R capable of binding IgE was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells after stable transformation with the cDNA which had been cloned into a mammalian expression vector. Amino acid sequence analysis of IgE-BF purified from RPMI 8866 cells revealed an amino-terminal sequence of 19 residues which coincides with the predicted amino acid sequence of the Fc epsilon R, starting at residues 148 and 150. A computer search with the translated amino acid sequence of the Fc epsilon R revealed a domain of 120 amino acids having striking homology to the human asialoglycoprotein receptors. 相似文献

The neutrophil FMLP receptor is involved in activation and subsequent response to certain chemotactic stimuli. The normal receptor has been reported to consist of several components, ranging in size from 43-94 kDa, and to contain both high and low affinity states. However, limited information is available on the gene/s which encode for the receptor. In this study, we have generated oligonucleotide probes derived from a published cDNA sequence encoding for one of the components of the FMLP receptor, and used these probes to amplify genomic DNA from HL-60 cells as well as normal human neutrophils, using the polymerase chain reaction. Such procedure resulted in the amplification of a single, approximately 1 kb fragment of genomic DNA identical in sequence to the cDNA described in the literature for one of the isoforms of the receptor. This finding supports the notion that the human FMLP receptor is encoded by at least one, intronless gene. 相似文献

Cytoglobin (CYGB) is a member of the vertebrate globin family together with hemoglobin, myoglobin and neuroglobin. Although the physiological function of CYGB is still unclear, spectroscopic studies show that CYGB contains a hexacoordinated heme pocket similar to other pentacoordinated globin proteins. CYGB shares a common phylogenetic ancestry with vertebrate myoglobin from which it diverged by duplication before the appearance of jawed vertebrates. The objective of this study is to identify the regulatory and promoter region of the human cytoglobin gene. 5' unidirectional deletion constructs demonstrated that the proximal promoter elements of human CYGB gene are located between -1113 to -10 relative to the translation start site. Site-directed mutagenesis showed that mutation of a c-Ets-1 motif at -1008 and Sp1 motifs at -400, -230 and -210 remarkably decreased the promoter activity. Gel shift assays confirmed the binding of DNA-nuclear proteins to these motifs. All these results indicate that CYGB gene expression can be up-regulated by c-Ets-1 and Sp1 motifs. 相似文献

We cloned a cDNA (RFP) encoding a receptor (RFP) related (70% overall nucleotide homology) to the formyl peptide receptor of human neutrophils (hFPR). RFP is a seven-transmembrane-domain receptor and its distribution is limited to myeloid cells. Domain sequence comparison with hFPR reveals highly conserved regions and provides clues to putative domains involved in ligand binding and receptor desensitization. 相似文献

Genetic deficiency of acid alpha glucosidase (GAA) results in glycogen storage disease type II. A cDNA containing the complete coding region was constructed and cloned into the expression vector pSV2 and was transiently transfected into an SV40 immortalized GAA deficient human fibroblast cell line which has undetectable levels of GAA enzyme activity and does not express GAA mRNA. Transfected cells had 4.9% of normal human fibroblast enzyme activity. Additionally a 5' 1.8 kb genomic fragment was ligated to the 5' end of the GAA cDNA construct and cloned into pUC19. Transient and stable transfection also resulted in expressed GAA enzyme activity in deficient fibroblast cells, indicating that the genomic fragment has GAA promoter function. 相似文献

Summary By direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified DNA from different individuals, three point mutations have been found in a 220-bp fragment from the promoter region of the human cystatin C gene. The three mutations are all localized within a short segment of 85 bp on the same allele. One of the base substitutions results in the generation of a novel SstII restriction site and another in the loss of the commonly occurring SstII restriction site. A PCR-based assay for analysis of the two SstII sites was designed and used to demonstrate Mendelian inheritance of the polymorphism. This SstII restriction fragment lenght polymorphism offers a new probe-independent marker for chromosome 20 linkage studies. 相似文献

The regulation of renin gene expression, the rate‐limiting enzyme of the system, is thought to be fundamental to the total system. Previously, we mapped six putative cis‐elements in the promoter region of the human renin gene with nuclear proteins from human chorionic cells and human renal cortex by DNase I protection assay (footprint A–F). Each footprint contains Ets motif like site (A), HOXñPBX recognition sequence (B), unknown sequence as DNA binding consensus (C), CRE (D), COUP‐TFII (ARP‐1) motif like site (E), and AGE3 like site (F). Footprint D has been characterized by means of functional studies as the genuine human renin gene CRE interacting with CREB in cooperation with the site of footprint B. To obtain further clues to the specific expression in the promoter region, these putative cis‐elements were conducted to a consensus‐specific binding assay to compare renin‐producing and non‐renin‐producing cells by EMSA and electromobility super‐shift assay. Different sequence‐specific DNA/protein binding was obtained among the different cell lines with footprint B site, with COUP‐TFII (ARP‐1) motif like site and possibly with footprint F site. The results implicate these putative cis‐elements and each corresponding trans‐factor in the specific expression of the human renin gene in the promoter region. Further functional characterization of these elements would provide important data for a better understanding of human renin gene expression. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

A polymorphism was identified in the coding region of the human C5a anaphylatoxin receptor gene leading to C to T transition
at nucleotide position 450 (a silent substitution in the Ala150 codon, GCC to GCT). Its distribution was studied in a population of healthy volunteers from the Québec city region (prevalence
of 2.8%) and among patients with end-stage renal failure who had previously undergone renal graft (prevalence 1.4%, not significantly
different from that of the control group). This new marker provides a valuable tool to assess the risk for putative C5a-associated
disorders with genetic determinism.
