Abstract: Aromatic l -amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) is found in both neuronal cells and nonneuronal cells, and a single gene encodes rat AADC in both neuronal and nonneuronal tissues. However, two cDNAs for this enzyme have been identified: one from the liver and the other from pheochromocytoma. Exons 1a and 1b are found in the liver cDNA and the pheochromocytoma cDNA, respectively. In the third exon (exon 2), there are two alternatively utilized splicing acceptors specific to these exons, 1a and 1b. Structural analysis of the rat AADC gene showed that both alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing are operative for the differential expression of this gene. To demonstrate whether alternative promoter usage and splicing are tissue specific and whether the exons 1a and 1b are differentially and specifically transcribed in nonneuronal and neuronal cells, respectively, in situ hybridization histochemistry for the rat brain, adrenal gland, liver, and kidney was carried out using these two exon probes. The exon 1a probe specifically identified AADC mRNA only in nonneuronal cells, including the liver and kidney, and the exon 1b probe localized AADC mRNA to monoaminergic neurons in the CNS and the adrenal medulla. Thus, both alternative promoter usage and differential splicing are in fact operative for the tissue-specific expression of the rat AADC gene. 相似文献

Abstract: Previously we identified two alternative first exons (exon N1 and exon L1) coding for 5' untranslated regions of human aromatic l -amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) and found that their alternative usage produced two types of mRNAs in a tissue-specific manner. To determine the cis -acting element regulating the tissue-specific expression of human AADC, we produced three kinds of transgenic mice harboring 5' flanking regions of the human AADC gene fused to the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene. The transgene termed ACA contained −7.0 kb to −30 bp in exon N1, including the entire exon L1; ACN contained −3.6 kb to −30 bp in exon N1; and ACL contained −2.8 kb to −42 bp in exon L1. The ACA transgenic mice expressed CAT at extremely high levels in peripheral nonneuronal tissues, such as pancreas, liver, kidney, small intestine, and colon, that contained endogenous high AADC activity, whereas CAT immunoreactivity was not detected in either catecholaminergic or serotonergic neurons in the CNS. Thus, it was suggested that the ACA transgene contained the major part of cis -regulatory elements for the expression of AADC in peripheral nonneuronal tissues. On the other hand, the ACN transgenic mice moderately expressed CAT in various tissues except for the lung and liver, and the ACL transgenic mice showed moderate CAT expression only in the kidney. 相似文献

We have isolated the rat gene encoding isoform 3 of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA3) and have determined its exon/intron organization. The PMCA3 gene contains 24 exons and spans approximately 70 kilobases. In addition, we have analyzed the splicing and polyadenylation patterns leading to the production of an alternative 4.5-kilobase (PMCA3) skeletal muscle mRNA that differs from the previously characterized 7.5-kilobase brain mRNA (Greeb, J., and Shull, G. E. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 18569-18576). cDNA cloning, Northern blot hybridization, and polymerase chain reaction analyses of the 4.5-kilobase mRNA demonstrate (i) the inclusion of a novel 68-nucleotide exon (exon 22) that is specific for skeletal muscle and significantly alters the calmodulin-binding domain and (ii) the utilization of an alternative polyadenylation site following exon 23 which eliminates the last coding exon (exon 24) and 3'-untranslated sequence of the 7.5-kilobase mRNA. We have also identified a 42-nucleotide exon (exon 8) that is included in the skeletal muscle PMCA3 mRNAs, but may be either included or excluded in the brain mRNAs. Exon 8 is inserted immediately before the sequence encoding a putative phospholipid binding domain and thus may alter regulatory interactions of the enzyme with acidic phospholipids. 相似文献

Two types of C3G cDNA were isolated from mouse 3T3-L1 adipocyte cDNA library. A 114-bp sequence in the middle of C3G cDNA is deleted in the short type cDNA. By RT-PCR analysis, it was found that these two types of C3G mRNA existed in all the mouse tissues. Sequence comparison revealed 88% nucleotide sequence identity between mouse and human C3G cDNA. Comparison of mouse C3G cDNA with the human genome database suggested that this 114-bp sequence comprised an entire exon, and it is confirmed by PCR analysis using mouse genomic DNA and cDNA template. These results indicate that two C3G mRNAs and proteins result from alternative RNA splicing. 相似文献
