Proteinase 3 (PR3), is a matrix-degrading serine proteinase expressed in different hematopoietic cell lineages. The PR3 protein
appears to regulate the myeloid differentiation and was found to be the autoantigen associated with Wegener granulomatosis.
We have isolated and characterized the gene for mouse PR3 (mPR3) and determined its chromosomal location. The gene has been localized to Chromosome (Chr) 10. Comparison of mouse PR3 genomic
structure with that of its human counterpart indicates that: 1) the mPR3 gene spans 7 kb organized in 5 exons and 4 introns, 2) the codons of His-Asp-Ser of the catalytic site are conserved and
spread out over different exons, similar to the human gene, and 3) the gene product encodes a pre-proform of the protein.
Knowledge of the structure and chromosomal location of the mPR3 gene may help better the understanding of the temporal and cell-specific expression of mouse PR3.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor, MIF, is a cytokine released by T-lymphocytes, macrophanges, and the pituitary gland that serves to integrate peripheral and central inflammatory responses. Ubiquitous expression and developmental regulation suggest that MIF may have additional roles outside of the immune system. Here we report the structure and chromosomal location of the mouse Mif gene and the partial characterization of five Mif pseudogenes. The mouse Mif gene spans less than 0.7 kb of chromosomal DNA and is composed of three exons. A comparison between the mouse and the human genes shows a similar gene structure and common regulatory elements in both promoter regions. The mouse Mif gene maps to the middle region of chromosome 10, between Bcr and S100b, which have been mapped to human chromosomes 22q11 and 21q22.3, respectively. The entire sequence of two pseudogenes demonstrates the absence of introns, the presence of the 5′ untranslated region of the cDNA, a 3′ poly(A) tail, and the lack of sequence similarity with untranscribed regions of the gene. The five pseudogenes are highly homologous to the cDNA, but contain a variable number of mutations that would produce mutated or truncated MIF-like proteins. Phylogenetic analyses of MIF genes and pseudogenes indicate several independent genetic events that can account for multiple genomic integrations. Three of the Mif pseudogenes were also mapped by interspecific backcross to chromosomes 1, 9, and 17. These results suggest that Mif pseudogenes originated by retrotransposition. 相似文献

The human BARX2 gene encodes a homeodomain-containing protein of 254 amino acids, which binds optimally to the DNA consensus sequence YYTAATGRTTTTY. BARX2 is highly expressed in adult salivary gland and is expressed at lower levels in other tissues, including mammary gland, kidney, and placenta. The BARX2 gene consists of four exons, and is located on human chromosome 11q25. This chromosomal location is within the minimal deletion region for Jacobsen syndrome, a syndrome including craniosynostosis and other developmental abnormalities. This chromosomal location, along with the reported expression of murine barx2 in craniofacial development, suggests that BARX2 may be causally involved in the craniofacial abnormalities in Jacobsen syndrome. 相似文献

We have determined the chromosomal localization of the murine gene encoding the 68-kDa sperm adhesion molecule 1, Spam1 or Ph-20. Using two independent approaches, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and interspecific backcross analysis, we show
that Spam1 maps to proximal mouse Chromosome (Chr) 6. This map position is within the conserved linkage group corresponding to human
Chr 7q, where the human homolog, SPAM 1, has been shown to map previously. Genetic mapping shows the gene to be very closely
linked to Met, one of the most proximal loci on MMU 6. It thus places the gene near the centromere and the junction of the Rb(6.16)24Lub
and Rb(6.15)1Ald translocations. The essential role of the Spam1 sperm antigen in mouse sperm-egg interactions and its gene
location provide strong support for its candidacy as the gene involved in the dysfunction of mouse sperm bearing the Rb(6.16)24Lub
or Rb(6.15)1Ald translocation.

A new major histocompatibility complex class I b gene expressed in the mouse blastocyst and placenta
Susan L. Sipes Maxine V. Medaglia Deborah L. Stabley Craig S. DeBruyn Mark S. Alden Vicki Catenacci C. P. Landel 《Immunogenetics》1996,45(2):108-120
Because of the role major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I b molecules may play during mouse embryonic development,
we thought it would be interesting to search for additional MHC class I b molecules that might be expressed in preimplantation
embryos, and in particular in the trophoblastic lineage. We therefore screened a mouse preimplantation blastocyst cDNA library
for MHC class I sequences. This search led to the identification and characterization of a new MHC class I b gene, blastocyst MHC. Sequences identical to the exons and 3′ untranslated region of this gene have been found in many laboratory mouse strains,
as well as in the related mouse species Mus spreciligus. The presence of this gene in mouse strains of different MHC class I haplotypes argues that blastocyst MHC is a unique, newly-described gene rather than a new allele of a previously described mouse MHC class I gene. Blastocyst MHC has the structure of an MHC class I b gene, with the six exons characteristic of T-region genes. It is linked to H2-D. The amino acid sequence encoded by this gene maintains all the features of a functional antigen-presentation domain. The
blastocyst MHC gene, like the human class I b gene HLA-G, is expressed at the blastocyst stage and in the placenta, and may be the mouse analog for HLA-G.

The protooncogene product Myc associates with many proteins. The isolation of the mouse MM-1; c-Myc binding protein (Myc-Modulator 1) cDNA is described. The cDNA contains a 462 bp open reading frame that encodes a
polypeptide of 154 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence indicates that mouse MM-1 has a 99% identity with
the sequence of human MM-1. The expression of mouse MM-1 mRNA was detected in the fetal liver, but its level was 3-fold higher than that in the normal adult liver, and was slightly
increased after a partial hepatectomy. It is expressed widely in a variety of adult mouse tissues. Thus, MM-1 may play a role
in liver development and growth. A bioinformatics analysis indicates that mouse MM-1 gene consists of 6 exons. Furthermore, the chromosomal location of the mouse MM-1 gene was on the F2-F3 band of chromosome 15, as determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Thrombospondins are a family of extracellular, adhesive proteins that are widely expressed in vertebrates. Five distinct
gene products, designated thrombospondin-1 through -4 and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), have been identified.
With the exception of thrombospondin-4, the structure and location of thrombospondin genes have been determined in the human
and/or mouse genomes. In this study, the structure and location of the murine thrombospondin-4 gene and the location of the
human thrombospondin-4 gene are reported. The murine thrombospondin-4 gene is approximately 4.5 kb in length and includes
22 exons. Interspecific backcross analysis of progeny derived from matings of (C57BL/6J ×Mus spretus)F1× C57BL/6J mice indicates that the thrombospondin-4 gene is tightly linked to the Dhfr locus on murine Chromosome (Chr) 13. The human gene maps to Chr 5 in band q13 by in situ hybridization to human metaphase
chromosomes. The thrombospondin-4 promoter is similar to promoters of some housekeeping, growth control, and other thrombospondin
genes in that it contains multiple GC box sequences and lacks a CAAT box. The presence of multiple E-box sequence motifs is
consistent with thrombospondin-4 expression in muscle and bone tissue.

A 150-kDa glycoprotein designated in the mouse as E-selectin ligand-1 (ESL-1; gene symbol Selel) was first isolated based on its ability to function as a ligand for E-selectin. The gene appears equivalent to that for
membrane glycoprotein MG160 encoded in the human by the locus for Golgi apparatus protein 1 (GLG1). ESL-1 is also highly homologous to the chicken cysteine-rich fibroblast growth factor receptor (CFR). We describe the genomic
structure and chromosomal localization of the Selel locus. The gene is encoded by 27 exons and extends over approximately 75 kb. It maps to murine Chromosome (Chr) 8 in a region
homologous to human Chr 16q where the GLG1 locus maps, further indicating that Selel and GLG1 are mouse and human equivalents of the same gene.

Exon trapping was employed to identify coding sequences from a collection of 46 bovine cosmids, previously characterized
for the presence of microsatellite markers and physically mapped to chromosomes by FISH. The sequence analysis of 104 clones
revealed 18 putative exons, 10 of which showed near identity to known sequences. Among these were the human (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase
(DNMT), ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), the mouse Lbcl1 oncogene, the bovine mitochondrial aconitase (ACO2) and β-arrestin 1 (ARR1). The chromosomal localization of the cloned exons
was inferred from the localization of the parent cosmids. DNMT and ACLY were not previously known in cattle, but the physical
localization of the cloned bovine exons is in agreement with the published comparative human and bovine maps. The trapping
of exons for bovine ACO2 and ARR1 confirms the available mapping information based on synteny and provides a physical assignment
for the genes.

Genomic structure, mapping, and expression analysis of the mammalian Lunatic, Manic, and Radical fringe genes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The three members of the mammalian fringe gene family, Manic fringe (Mfng), Radical fringe (Rfng), and Lunatic fringe (Lfng), were identified on the basis of their similarity to Drosophila fringe (fng) and their participation in the evolutionarily conserved Notch receptor signaling pathway. Fringe genes encode pioneer secretory
proteins with weak similarity to glycosyltransferases. Both expression patterns and functional studies support an important
role for Fringe genes in patterning during embryonic development and an association with cellular transformation. We have
now further characterized the expression and determined the chromosomal localization and genomic structure of the mouse Mfng, Rfng, and Lfng genes; the genomic structure and conceptual open reading frame of the human RFNG gene; and the refined chromosomal localization
of the three human fringe genes. The mouse Fringe genes are expressed in the embryo and in adult tissues. The mouse and human
Fringe family members map to three different chromosomes in regions of conserved synteny: Mfng maps to mouse Chr 15, and MFNG maps to human Chr 22q13.1 in the region of two cancer-associated loci; Lfng maps to mouse Chr 5, and LFNG maps to human Chr 7p22; Rfng maps to mouse Chr 11, and RFNG maps to human Chr 17q25 in the minimal region for a familial psoriasis susceptibility locus.
Characterization of the genomic loci of the Fringe gene family members reveals a conserved genomic organization of 8 exons.
Comparative analysis of mammalian Fringe genomic organization suggests that the first exon is evolutionarily labile and that
the Fringe genes have a genomic structure distinct from those of previously characterized glycosyltransferases.

8-Hydroxyguanine (7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine: oh8Gua) is a damaged form of guanine induced by oxygen-free radicals and causes GC to TA transversions. Previously we isolated
the hOGG1 gene, a human homolog of the yeast OGG1 gene, which encodes a DNA glycosylase and lyase to excise oh8Gua in DNA. In this study, we isolated a mouse homolog (Ogg1) of the OGG1 gene, characterized oh8Gua-specific DNA glycosylase/AP lyase activities of its product, and determined chromosomal localization and exon-intron organization
of this gene. A predicted protein possessed five domains homologous to human and yeast OGG1 proteins. Helix-hairpin-helix
and C2H2 zinc finger-like DNA-binding motifs found in human and yeast OGG1 proteins were also retained in mouse Ogg1 protein. The
properties of a GST fusion protein were identical to human and yeast OGG1 proteins in glycosylase/lyase activities, their
substrate specificities, and suppressive activities against the spontaneous mutagenesis of an Escherichia coli mutM mutY double mutant. The mouse Ogg1 gene was mapped to Chromosome (Chr) 6, and consisted of 7 exons approximately 6 kb long. Two DNA-binding motifs were encoded
in exons 4 through 5. These data will facilitate the investigation of the OGG1 gene to elucidate the relationship between oxidative DNA damage and carcinogenesis.

We have identified and characterized the complete cDNA and gene for the mouse MutS homolog 5 (Msh5), as a step toward understanding the molecular genetic mechanisms involved in the biological function of this new MutS homologous
protein in mammals. The Msh5 cDNA contains a 2502-bp open reading frame (ORF) that encodes an 833-amino acid protein with
a predicted molecular weight of 92.6 kDa, which shares 89.8% amino acid sequence identity with the human hMSH5 protein. Northern
blot analysis demonstrated the presence of a Msh5 mRNA approximately 2.9-kb in length, most abundantly expressed in mouse
testis. Yeast two-hybrid analysis indicated that the mouse Msh5 protein positively interacted with the human hMSH4 protein—suggesting
that Msh5 shares common functional properties with its human counterpart. Sequence and structural analyses show that the mouse
gene Msh5 spans approximately 18 kb and contains 24 exons that range in length from 36 bp for exon 7 to 392 bp for exon 1. Structural
comparison with the human hMSH5 gene revealed that all of the Msh5 internal exons, but not introns, are conserved in length with the human hMSH5. The Msh5 gene is located on mouse Chromosome (Chr) 17 in a location that is syntenic to the region of human Chr 6 harboring the hMSH5
gene. The identification and characterization of Msh5 will facilitate studies of the potential functional roles of this new member of the MutS family.

The h-PRL-1 gene codes for a new phosphotyrosine phosphatase that may play an important role in the control of basic cellular
processes such as cell growth and proliferation. Using the cDNA of the h-PRL-1 gene as a probe, we examined a somatic mouse
and hamster × human hybrid panel and found that chromosomes 1, 17 and 11 harbor sequences homologous to h-PRL-1. By in situ hybridization of metaphase spreads, subchromosomal localizations were determined at bands 1p35–p34, 17q12– q21 and 11q24–q25;
in addition, a faint signal was detected at 12q24. The chromosomal assignment of the genes homologous to h-PRL-1 will help
the investigation of its possible involvement in human diseases involving genetic alteration at these chromosomal regions.

Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) is a nuclear-encoded, mitochondrial matrix enzyme. In humans, deficiency of GCDH leads to glutaric acidemia type I, an inherited disorder of amino acid metabolism characterized by a progressive neurodegenerative disease. In this report we describe the cloning and structure of the mouse GCDH (Gcdh) gene and cDNA and its chromosomal localization. The mouse Gcdh cDNA is 1.75 kb long and contains an open reading frame of 438 amino acids. The amino acid sequences of mouse, human, and pig GCDH are highly conserved. The mouse Gcdh gene contains 11 exons and spans 7 kb of genomic DNA. Gcdh was mapped by backcross analysis to mouse chromosome 8 within a region that is homologous to a region of human chromosome 19, where the human gene was previously mapped. 相似文献

Comparison of human and mouse genomic sequence at the border of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II and class III
regions revealed a locus encoding six exons with homology to the butyrophilin gene family and the location of a previously
decribed gene, testis-specific basic protein (TSBP). We named the new locus BTL-II, for butyrophilin-like MHC class II associated. The six discernable exons of the BTL-II locus encode a small hydrophobic amino acid sequence (which may be a signal peptide), two immunoglobulin domains, a small
7-amino acid, heptad repeat-like exon, and a further two immunoglobulin domains. In mouse, an additional butyrophilin-like
gene (NG10) is situated adjacent to BTL-II. Expression studies of the BTL-II locus in mouse showed that it is expressed in a range of gut tissues. We demonstrate that like many other genes from the
MHC, BTL-II is polymorphic in a selection of diverse HLA haplotypes. In the light of the newly discovered locus, we revisit and discuss
the possible origin of the butyrophilin gene family

The mammalian genome contains hundreds if not thousands of zinc finger protein (Zfp) genes. While the function of most of these genes remains to be determined, it is clear that a few of them play important
roles in gene regulation and development. In studies described here, we have used an interspecific mouse backcross mapping
panel to determine the chromosomal location of 15 KRAB-containing zinc finger loci. These loci map to nine different mouse
autosomes and the X Chromosome (Chr). Two Chrs, 7 and 9, contain cosegregating pairs of KRAB-containing Zfp genes, indicating that the KRAB-containing Zfp genes have evolved through processes involving regional as well as genome-wide duplication events.

Cloning, Expression, and Mapping of Ribonucleases H of Human and Mouse Related to Bacterial RNase HI
We identified two human sequences and one mouse sequence in the database of expressed sequence tags that are highly homologous to the N-terminal sequence of eukaryotic RNases H1. The cDNAs for humanRNASEH1and mouseRnaseh1were obtained, their nucleotide sequences determined, and the proteins expressed inEscherichia coliand partially purified. Both proteins have RNase H activityin vitroand they bind to dsRNA and RNA–DNA hybrids through the N-terminal conserved motif present in eukaryotic RNases H1. TheRNASEH1gene is expressed in all human tissues at similar levels, indicating that RNase H1 may be a housekeeping protein. The humanRNASEH1and mouseRnaseh1cDNAs were used to isolate BAC genomic clones that were used as probes for fluorescencein situhybridization. The human gene was localized to chromosome 17p11.2 and the mouse gene to a nonsyntenic region on chromosome 12A3. The chromosomal location and possible disease association of the humanRNASEH1gene are discussed. 相似文献
