ELAV, a Drosophila neuron-specific protein, mediates the generation of an alternatively spliced neural protein isoform
BACKGROUND Tissue-specific alternative pre-mRNA splicing is a widely used mechanism for gene regulation and the generation of different protein isoforms, but relatively little is known about the factors and mechanisms that mediate this process. Tissue-specific RNA-binding proteins could mediate alternative pre-mRNA splicing. In Drosophila melanogaster, the RNA-binding protein encoded by the ela...
متن کاملA protein activator for the enzymic hydrolysis of GM2 ganglioside.
A protein activator (GMz-activator) specific for stimulating the hydrolysis of G M ~ ganglioside (GalNAcb1 4GalC3 + 2aNeuAc]/?l-+ 4Glcb1-+ 1’Cer) by &hexosaminidase A has been purified over 1OS-fold with a high yield from human liver. The purification procedure includes the adjustment of the pH of liver extract to pH 4.3, followed by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sephadex G-200 filtration, an...
متن کاملZASP: A New Z-band Alternatively Spliced PDZ-motif Protein
PDZ motifs are modular protein–protein interaction domains, consisting of 80–120 amino acid residues, whose function appears to be the direction of intracellular proteins to multiprotein complexes. In skeletal muscle, there are a few known PDZ-domain proteins, which include neuronal nitric oxide synthase and syntrophin, both of which are components of the dystrophin complex, and actinin-associa...
متن کاملTwo polymorphisms for the human GM2 activator protein gene.
Source/Description: A 300 bp HincII/EcoRI fragment of the human G^ activation protein cDNA (1) was subcloned into Bluescript vector and used as a probe. Polymorphism: Mspl identifies a two allele polymorphism with bands at either 3.4 kb (Al) or 2.9 kb (A2) and invariant bands at 1.0 kb, 1.8 kb and 4.0 kb. Rsal identifies a two allele polymorphism with a band at either 4.1 kb (Bl) or 3.4 kb (B2)...
متن کاملOxidized Low-density Lipoprotein Upregulates GM2 Activator Protein Gene Expression
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been shown to be a powerful regulator of gene expression in monocyte-derived macrophage. To determine the effects of oxidized LDL on macrophage gene expression, macrophages incubated with native or oxidized LDL were analyzed by differential display technique. The differentially expressed cDNA (387 bp) fragment by oxidized LDL showed 100% homology to th...
