Using the PCR primers generated from human expressed sequence tag (EST), the cDNA of lysyl oxidase-like gene 3 (LOXL3), a new member of human lysyl oxidases gene family, was cloned from the human fetal brain mRNA. The predicted amino acid sequence of the hLOXL3 gene was highly homologous to mLOR2. Bioinformatics analysis shows that hLOXL3 protein is also a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich family, which contains a 25 amino acids signal peptide. The hLOXL3 gene was mapped to human 2p13 locus by BLAST search and at least 14 exons were found. Expression of the hLOXL3 gene was detected in several human tissues and especially high in spleen and testis.

We report the cloning and expression pattern of a novel N-myc downstream-regulated gene 3 (NDRG3), located on human chromosome 20q11.21-11.23. The NDRG3 cDNA is 2588 base pair in length, encoding a 363 amino acid polypeptide highly related to mouse Ndr3 protein. Northern blot reveals that NDRG3 is highly expressed in testis, prostate and ovary. By in situ hybridization, the NDRG3 mRNA was localized to the outer layers of seminiferous epithelium, indicating that it may play a role in spermatogenesis.

AbstractThe angiopoietins are an important family of growth factors specific for vascular endothelium. Most of them bind to the TIE2 receptor and are related to regulation of angiogenesis. During large-scale DNA sequencing of the human fetal brain cDNA library, we cloned a novel human angiopoietin-like cDNA and termed it human angiopoietin-like 5 (ANGPTL5). Like other members of the angiopoietin family, ANGPTL5-deduced protein also has an N-terminal cleavable signal peptide, a predicted coiled-coil domain, and a fibrinogen-like domain. The search against the human genome database indicated that ANGPTL5 maps to 11q22. Expression analysis of ANGPTL5 shows that it is mainly expressed in adult human heart.

The SAPK/JNKs play important roles in numerous cellular processes, and for this reason they have become putative drug targets. Most dual-specificity protein phosphatases (DSPs) play important roles in the regulation of mitogenic signal transduction and cell cycle control in response to extracellular stimuli. Dual-specificity phosphatase 18 (DUSP18), a newly recognized SAPK/JNK phosphatase, is widely expressed. This expression is modulated in response to extracellular stimuli. By phosphorylation assay, pull down and coimmunoprecipitation experiments, it is shown here that DUSP18 interacts with SAPK/JNK and dephosphorylates it both in vitro and in vivo. DUSP18 does not dephosphorylate p38 or p44ERK1. Furthermore, DUSP18 inhibits SAPK/JNK pathway in vivo. Based on these findings, DUSP18 appears to serve an important role by regulation of SAPK/JNK pathway.

AbstractThe NM23 gene is a conspicuous metastasis-suppressor gene. Eight human genes of the NM23/nucleoside diphosphate kinase family have been discovered. From our large cDNA cloning and sequencing project, we cloned a different transcript (NM23-H1B) of human NM23-H1 from 18-week-old human fetal brain. The 987-bp cDNA encodes a protein of 177 amino acid residues. Compared with NM23H1, the cDNA contained an additional NH2-terminal region (25 amino acid residues). It was mapped to chromosome 17q21.3 using bioinformatics analysis, which shows that the second exon does not exist in NM23-H1. The expression pattern of NM23-H1B showed that it was ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues (15 tissues except colon) at different levels. Our data also indicated that the expression of the transcript in tumors related to tumor differentiation: in poorly differentiated breast carcinoma GI-101, pancreatic adenocarcinoma GI-103, and undifferentiated ovarian carcinoma GI-102, there was no expression. In poorly differentiated lung carcinoma LX-1, lung carcinoma GI-117, the expression level was very low. The transcript band in well-differentiated colon adenocarcinoma CX-1 was significantly higher than that in poorly differentiated colon adenocarcinoma GI-112. A high transcription level was also found in grade IV prostatic adenocarcinoma PC3.

Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel peptidylprolyl isomerase (cyclophilin)-like gene (PPIL3) from human fetal brain

Zongxiang Zhou; Kang Ying; Jianliang Dai; Rong Tang; Yan Huang; Wei Zhao; Yi Xie; Yumin Mao

During the large-scale sequencing analysis of a human fetal brain cDNA library, we isolated two cDNA clones encoding two novel proteins, which show 52% and 72% identity to the cyclophilin isoform 10 of C. elegans, respectively. Sequence analysis revealed these two cDNA clones are two different splicing variants of a novel cyclophilin-like gene (PPIL3). The PPIL3 gene was identified on a completely sequenced BAC (GenBank accession AC005037) from chromosome 2q33 between STS markers stSG2762 (proximal) and SHGC-3074 (distal), oriented toward the telomere. The PPIL3 gene consisted of eight exons spanning more than 18 kb of genomic DNA. RT-PCR analysis indicated that PPIL3 was ubiquitously expressed in adult human tissues.

This study reports the cloning and characterization of a novel human phosphatidic acid phosphatase type 2 isoform cDNAs (PAP2d) from the foetal brain cDNA library. The PAP2d gene is localized on chromosome 1p21.3. It contains six exons and spans 112 kb of the genomic DNA. By large-scale cDNA sequencing we found two splice variants of PAP2d, PAP2d_v1 and PAP2d_v2. The PAP2d_v1 cDNA is 1722 bp in length and spans an open reading frame from nucleotide 56 to 1021, encoding a 321aa protein. The PAP2d_v2 cDNA is 1707 bp in length encoding a 316aa protein from nucleotide 56–1006. The PAP2d_v1 cDNA is 15 bp longer than the PAP2d_v2 cDNA in the terminal of the fifth exon and it creates different ORF. Both of the proteins contain a well-conserved PAP2 motif. The PAP2d_v1 is mainly expressed in human brain, lung, kidney, testis and colon, while PAP2d_v2 is restricted to human placenta, skeletal muscle, and kidney. The two splice variants are co-expressed only in kidney.

Dual-specificity protein phosphatases (DSPs), a new family of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), are characterized by the ability to dephosphorylate both phospho-tyrosyl and phospho-seryl/threonyl residues. It has been known that most of the enzymes play important roles in the regulation of mitogenic signal transduction and control the cell cycle in response to extracellular stimuli. In this study, a novel human DSP gene named Dual-specificity Phosphatase18 (DUSP18) was isolated by large-scale sequencing analysis of a human fetal brain cDNA library. DUSP18 is localized at Chromosome 22 q12.1. Its cDNA is 2450 base pairs in length, encoding a 188-amino acid polypeptide in which a DSP motif but not a CH2 domain is included. RT-PCR revealed that the DUSP18 was widely expressed in different tissues. GST-DUSP18 fusion protein showed distinctive phosphatase activity toward p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP), as well as oligopeptides containing pThr and pTyr, indicating that DUSP18 is a protein phosphatase with dual substrate specificity. The optimal condition for the reaction was pH 6.0 and 55 degrees C. Addition of Mn(2+) ions was able to enhance the enzyme activity while the activity was strongly inhibited by iodoaretic acid. Mutations in selected sites showed the importance of Asp-73, Cys-104, Arg-110 and Ser-111 in phosphatase activity of DUSP18.

AbstractIn the course of detecting the interaction protein of RBBP10 by yeast two-hybridization, we isolated a novel cDNA that encodes a putative human protein with yrdC domain. It is named human yrdC protein. Because the cDNA contains an open reading fragment (ORF) without a 5′ in- frame stop codon, 5′ RACE and 3′ RACE were proceeded to produce the full-length cDNA. An 1825 bp cDNA was isolated from human placenta, which encodes a putative protein of 279 amino acids. The protein contains a sua5-yciO-yrdC domain. Blast analysis against the human genome database of Genbank revealed that the gene contains five exons, and assigned the gene to human chromosome 1p34.2. A transcript about 2.5 kb is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. The gene is highly conserved during evolution.

The kelch-repeat protein family is a recently found new kind of actin-binding protein. It is characterized by tandemly arranged motifs of about 50 amino acids [7]. Previous study showed that most members of the kelch-repeat family were cytoskeletal proteins implicated in various cellular processes, such as actin cytoskeleton interaction, cytoplasmic sequestration of transcription factors and cell morphology [1]. And some of the family members play important roles in tissue development, such as human ENC-1, NRP/B, etc. Another characteristic of the kelch family is that most members have another conserved BTB domain at the extreme amino terminus. The BTB domain is also found at the N-terminus of 5–10% of zinc-finger transcription factor types and is a conserved protein-protein interaction motif [15]. During the large-scale sequencing analysis of a human fetal brain cDNA library we found a novel kelch-like protein gene 5, KLHL5[11], KLHL5 has high identity with Drosophila kelch protein and many other family members. Here we report a novel splicing variants of KLHL5, named KLHL5b and the expression pattern of KLHL5b in many tissues.
