Two novel lactogen receptor cDNA clones (2.1 and 1.2 kb) were isolated from a rat ovarian cDNA library. Nucleotide sequence of the 2.1 kb clone codes for a 610 aa receptor (nonglycosylated mol. wgt. 66,000 D) with an extracellular domain, a transmembrane region and an intracellular domain, and exhibited significant overall similarity with the rat liver receptor (310 aa) and both rabbit mammary and human hepatoma receptors (616 and 622 aa). However, the ovarian lactogen receptor sequence contains a unique cytoplasmic domain of 110 aa and consensus sequences for both a tyrosine phosphorylation site and an ATP/GTP type A binding site, and thus has potential for signal transduction and mitogenic activity. The 1.2 kb clone codes for a truncated binding form of 150 aa that is identical with the ovarian long form over only the first 130 residues, and lacks the transmembrane region. Differences between long and short forms of the ovarian lactogen receptors and the truncated liver species may result from alternative splicing. The prolactin holoreceptor gene(s) has the potential for producing several receptor subtypes that differ in tissue-specific expression, size, compartmentalization and mode of signal transduction, and may subserve the divergent functions of prolactin in its several target cells. 相似文献

Gonadotropin-regulated long chain acyl-CoA synthetase (GR-LACS) is a novel hormonally regulated fatty acyl-CoA synthetase (FACS) with activity for long-chain fatty acids. The presence of this enzyme in the Leydig cells of the mature rat testis and its mode of regulation suggest that it participates in testicular steroidogenesis. This study demonstrates that GR-LACS expression is tissue, cell and species-specific. The 79 kDa GR-LACS protein is expressed in rodent gonads and brain, and only in the mouse in the adrenal cortex. In the ovary of both species it is associated with follicles undergoing atresia. It is present in the newborn and immature testis tubules and after puberty only in the Leydig cells. A distinct GR-LACS protein species of 64 kDa that was more abundant than the 79 kDa long form was found in the rat brain. Also, a minor 73 kDa form was observed in the rat brain and mouse ovary. Two novel species resulting from alternatively splicing of the GR-LACS gene were identified in a rat brain cDNA library: a short form 1 (S1) lacking exon 8 and short form 2 (S2) lacking exons 6–8. Expression studies revealed that the sizes of the S1/S2 proteins are comparable to those of the endogenous variant species. Neither S form contains FACSs activity, suggesting that exon 8 is essential for the enzymatic function. GR-LACS variants exhibit small but significant dominant negative effects on the FACS activity of the long form. GR-LACS variants may regulate the long form's activity in the brain. 相似文献

A rat testicular luteinizing hormone (LH) receptor cDNA containing a 266-base pair deletion resulting in the omission of the 1st transmembrane region and truncation of the open reading frame was isolated using a rat ovarian LH receptor cDNA probe. Comparison of this clone with a restriction fragment from the LH receptor genomic DNA revealed potential alternative splice sites following the consensus sequence TTXCAG that is present at an intron acceptor splice site and also within the next exon, accounting for the specific deletion mutation observed in this cDNA. Expression of the testicular cDNA in COS1 cells resulted in synthesis and secretion of a soluble binding protein with high affinity and specificity for LH and human chorionic gonadotropin. These studies have demonstrated that the LH receptor gene contains intron(s) within the region coding for the extracellular domain of the molecule, which determine the nature and generation of LH receptor isoforms. Expression of the soluble form of the LH receptor has indicated that the amino-terminal extracellular region plays a major role in gonadotropin binding. These features of the LH receptor are distinct from those of most other G protein-coupled receptors, which are intronless and contain their binding sites within the transmembrane region rather than the extracellular domain. 相似文献
