Telomere shortening and cell cycle arrest in Trypanosoma brucei expressing human telomeric repeat factor TRF1 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Trypanosoma brucei has telomeres composed of 15 kb tracts of TTAGGG repeats that end in 3' overhangs and form t-loops. This structure is also present in mammalian cells and is thought to reflect the presence of telomere-binding proteins. The human TTAGGG repeat-binding factor TRF1 binds to telomeres and regulates their length. We attempted to interfere with the normal function of trypanosome telomeres by expressing human TRF1 in T. brucei. TRF1 localized to telomeres in cultured procyclic (midgut-stage) trypanosomes with great fidelity, but not in bloodstream-stage trypanosomes. Procyclic trypanosomes expressing high levels of TRF1 for extended periods of time exhibited shortening and increased size heterogeneity of their telomeres and the cell cycle was arrested in G1-S. These effects were not detected in cells expressing a TRF1 mutant incapable of binding to TTAGGG repeats. We argue that TRF1 displaces putative endogenous trypanosome telomere-binding proteins, not yet identified, and affects telomeres in ways that reflect its role as a negative regulator of telomere length in human cells. 相似文献

The mouse CTLA-4 gene has been shown to code for an activated lymphocyte-associated sequence belonging to the Ig gene superfamily. We now report on the molecular cloning and study of the human corresponding gene isolated from a genomic library and designated Hu-CTLA-4. The Hu-CTLA-4 gene exists as a single copy per human haploid genome and maps to band q33 of chromosome 2. It comprises 3 exons notwithstanding the leader sequence. The first exon encodes a V-like domain of 116 amino acids, the second one a hydrophobic putative transmembrane region of 37 amino acids and the third one a 34 amino acid putative cytoplasmic domain. Whereas the overall homology between the human and murine CTLA-4 proteins is 76%, there is, remarkably, a complete identity of their cytoplasmic domains. This complete interspecies conservation comes in support of an important role for this domain in CTLA-4 function. 相似文献

The OX40 protein is expressed only on activated rat CD4+ T blasts and is a member of a superfamily of cell surface molecules which includes CD40, CD30, CD95 (Fas), CD27, 4-1BB antigens and the receptors for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF). The proteins of this group are related to each other by having three to six repeats of a cysteine-rich sequence in their extracellular domains. Members of this family of receptors have also been shown to bind to ligands which are structurally related to TNF. The mouse homologue of the rat OX40 protein was cloned at the cDNA and genomic levels. The gene structure shows that there are several intron/exon borders shared between OX40 and CD27, CD40, TNF receptor type I, CD95 and 4-1BB genes. This group of genes is less closely related structurally to the gene structure of the NGF receptor. The gene encoding murine OX40 has been placed on mouse chromosome 4, in an area which contains the genes for TNF receptor type II and 4-1BB, and is syntenic with a region of human chromosome 1 which contains human TNF receptor type II, OX40, and CD30 genes. 相似文献

Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder which is associated with CAG expansion in the coding region
of the gene for huntingtin protein. Recently, a huntingtin interacting protein, HIP1, was isolated by the yeast two-hybrid
system. Here we report the isolation of a cDNA clone for HIP1R (huntingtin interacting protein-1 related), which encodes a predicted protein product sharing a striking homology with HIP1.
RT-PCR analysis showed that the messenger RNA was ubiquitously expressed in various human tissues. Based on PCR-assisted analysis
of a radiation hybrid panel and fluorescence in situ hybridization, HIP1R was localized to the q24 region of chromosome 12.

The Delta Sxrb interval of the mouse Y chromosome is critical for
spermatogenesis and expression of the male-specific minor transplantation
antigen H-Y. Several genes have been mapped to this interval and each has a
homologue on the X chromosome. Four, Zfy1 , Zfy2 , Ube1y and Dffry , are
expressed specifically in the testis and their X homologues are not
transcribed from the inactive X chromosome. A further two, Smcy and Uty ,
are ubiquitously expressed and their X homologues escape X-inactivation.
Here we report the identification of another gene from this region of the
mouse Y chromosome. It encodes the highly conserved eukaryotic translation
initiation factor eIF-2gamma. In the mouse this gene is ubiquitously
expressed, has an X chromosome homologue which maps close to Dmd and
escapes X-inactivation. The coding regions of the X and Y genes show 86%
nucleotide identity and encode putative products with 98% amino acid
identity. In humans, the eIF-2gamma structural gene is located on the X
chromosome at Xp21 and this also escapes X-inactivation. However, there is
no evidence of a Y copy of this gene in humans. We have identified
autosomal retroposons of eIF-2gamma in both humans and mice and an
additional retroposon on the X chromosome in some mouse strains. Ark blot
analysis of eutherian and metatherian genomic DNA indicates that X-Y
homologues are present in all species tested except simian primates and
kangaroo and that retroposons are common to a wide range of mammals. These
results shed light on the evolution of X-Y homologous genes.

Sperm capacitation is a maturation event that takes place in the female reproductive tract and is essential for fertilization. A family of phospholipid-binding proteins present in bovine seminal plasma (BSP proteins) binds the sperm membrane at ejaculation and promotes bovine sperm capacitation. Homologues of these proteins have also been isolated from boar, ram, goat, bison and stallion seminal fluid, suggesting that BSP proteins and their homologues are conserved among mammals. However, there have been no reports on BSP-homologous proteins in mice and humans to date. A search of the mouse and human genomes, using the nucleic acid sequences of BSP proteins, revealed the presence of three BSP-like sequences in the mouse genome, named mouse BSP Homologue 1 (mBSPH1), mBSPH2 and mBSPH3, and one sequence in the human genome (hBSPH1). Mouse epididymal expressed sequence tags corresponding to partial sequences of mBSPH1 and mBSPH2 were identified. The entire complementary DNA (cDNA) sequences of mBSPH1 and mBSPH2 from mouse epididymis and hBSPH1 from human epididymis were obtained by 5'-/3'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and encode predicted proteins containing two tandemly repeated fibronectin type II domains, which is the signature of the BSP family of proteins. Using RT-PCR, it was revealed that mBSPH1, mBSPH2 and hBSPH1 mRNA are expressed only in the epididymis. Expression of mBSPH3 was not detected in any tissue and probably represents a pseudogene. This work shows, for the first time, that BSP homologues are expressed in mouse and human and may be involved in sperm capacitation in these species. 相似文献

Surfactant proteins SP-A and SP-D, and complement protein C1q are soluble innate immune pattern recognizing molecules. SP-A, SP-D and C1q have an overall similar structure composed of an N-terminal triple-helical collagen region that is followed by a trimeric globular domain. While SP-A and SP-D belong to the collectin family (collagen containing lectin), C1q is the first recognition subcomponent of the classical pathway of the complement system. Recently, SP-A, SP-D and C1q have been considered to play important roles in early and late pregnancy. However, their expression in early human decidua has not been examined. Here, we investigated whether SP-A, SP-D and C1q are expressed within first trimester decidua in humans and their expression is associated with trophoblasts and decidual stromal cells. Decidual samples from women undergoing elective vaginal termination of pregnancy during first trimester were obtained from 25 subjects. Immunohistochemical studies using anti-human SP-A, anti-human SP-D and anti-human C1q antibodies were performed on decidual tissue sections along with anti-vimentin and cytokeratin-7 antibodies to identify stromal cells and trophoblasts. The expression was also examined by immunostaining and PCR using decidual and stromal cells. C1q expression was significantly higher when compared to SP-A and SP-D in the first trimester human decidua. Double immunostaining revealed that all stromal cells and trophoblasts expressed SP-A, SP-D and C1q, while only few invasive trophoblasts expressed C1q. Thus, expression of SP-A, SP-D and C1q in human decidua during first trimester suggests potential role of SP-A, SP-D and C1q during the early stages of pregnancy including implantation, trophoblast invasion and placental development. 相似文献

Using the yeast two hybrid system, a mouse embryo cDNA library was screened
for proteins that interact with the C-terminus of the human beta-amyloid
precursor protein (beta PP). A fusion protein was identified that interacts
specifically with the cytoplasmic domain of beta PP and does not interact
with the beta-amyloid region. The protein encoded by this partial mouse
cDNA is identical to the C-terminus of the rat Fe65 protein. This mouse
protein also interacts with the homologous C-terminal domains of the mouse
amyloid precursor-like proteins, APLP1 and APLP2. These conserved
cytoplasmic regions contain a common amino acid motif, Asn-Pro-Thr-Tyr,
which has previously been shown to influence both the secretion and
internalization of beta PP. Fe65 has been implicated in regulatory and cell
signaling mechanisms because it contains two different motifs involved in
protein binding, a WW domain (a variant of Src homology 3 domains) and a
phosphotyrosine interaction domain (PID). Interestingly, the PID domain
binds to the same motif present in the conserved cytoplasmic domains of the
beta PP and beta PP-like proteins. RNA analyses reveal that Fe65 is
predominantly expressed in brain and in the regions most affected by
Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated neuropathology. The human Fe65 mRNA was
cloned from a fetal brain cDNA library. The message encodes a protein of
735 amino acids that is 95% identical to the rat Fe65 protein. The human
Fe65 gene was mapped on human metaphase chromosomes to band 11p15 using
fluorescence in situ hybridization.
