Human hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 isoforms are encoded by distinct and differentially expressed genes.
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF4) was first identified as a DNA binding activity in rat liver nuclear extracts. Protein purification had then led to the cDNA cloning of rat HNF4, which was found to be an orphan member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. Binding sites for this factor were identified in many tissue-specifically expressed genes, and the protein was found to be essential for earl...
متن کاملIsoforms of caveolin-1 and caveolar structure.
The relationship between caveolin-1 isoforms alpha and beta and caveolar ultrastructure was studied. By immunofluorescence microscopy of human fibroblasts, caveolae were observed as dots positive for caveolin-1, but many dots labeled by an antibody recognizing both isoforms (anti-alphabeta) were not labeled by another antibody specific for the alpha isoform (anti-alpha). Immunogold electron mic...
متن کاملFunctionally distinct isoforms of STAT5 are generated by protein processing.
The interleukin-3 family of cytokines, which play an important role in the development of myeloid lineages, transduce signals through the JAK-STAT pathway. Previous studies demonstrate that this process entails the activation of four distinct isoforms of STAT5, where two shorter isoforms are activated in a distinct population of cells. We now demonstrate that the shorter isoforms represent carb...
متن کاملMaize profilin isoforms are functionally distinct.
Profilin is an actin monomer binding protein that, depending on the conditions, causes either polymerization or depolymerization of actin filaments. In plants, profilins are encoded by multigene families. In this study, an analysis of native and recombinant proteins from maize demonstrates the existence of two classes of functionally distinct profilin isoforms. Class II profilins, including nat...
متن کاملDistinct functional specificities are associated with protein isoforms encoded by the Drosophila dorsal-ventral patterning gene pipe.
Spatially regulated transcription of the pipe gene in ventral cells of the Drosophila ovary follicle cell epithelium is a key event that specifies progeny embryo dorsal-ventral (DV) polarity. pipe encodes ten putative protein isoforms, all of which exhibit similarity to vertebrate glycosaminoglycan-modifying enzymes. Expression of one of the isoforms, Pipe-ST2, in follicle cells has previously ...
