Disruption of Slc52a3 gene causes neonatal lethality with riboflavin deficiency in mice
Homeostasis of riboflavin should be maintained by transporters. Previous in vitro studies have elucidated basic information about riboflavin transporter RFVT3 encoded by SLC52A3 gene. However, the contribution of RFVT3 to the maintenance of riboflavin homeostasis and the significance in vivo remain unclear. Here, we investigated the physiological role of RFVT3 using Slc52a3 knockout (Slc52a3-/-...
متن کاملProthrombin deficiency results in embryonic and neonatal lethality in mice.
The conversion of prothrombin (FII) to the serine protease, thrombin (FIIa), is a key step in the coagulation cascade because FIIa triggers platelet activation, converts fibrinogen to fibrin, and activates regulatory pathways that both promote and ultimately suppress coagulation. However, several observations suggest that FII may serve a broader physiological role than simply stemming blood los...
متن کاملDisruption of the developmentally regulated Rev3l gene causes embryonic lethality
The REV3 gene encodes the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase (pol) zeta, which can replicate past certain types of DNA lesions [1]. Saccharomyces cerevisiae rev3 mutants are viable and have lower rates of spontaneous and DNA-damage-induced mutagenesis [2]. Reduction in the level of Rev31, the presumed catalytic subunit of mammalian pol zeta, decreased damage-induced mutagenesis in human cell l...
متن کاملEarly embryonic lethality in gene trap mice with disruption of the Arfgef2 gene.
The switching of ADP-ribosylation factors from the inactive form to the active form is catalyzed by ARF-GEF (ADP ribosylation factor--guanine nucleotide exchange protein) proteins containing a Sec7 domain. The murine Arfgef2 gene encoding the BIG2 protein belongs to the class of high molecular mass (>100 kDa) ARF-GEF proteins. BIG2 is believed to be associated with the trans-Golgi network and t...
متن کاملTargeted Disruption of the PME-1 Gene Causes Loss of Demethylated PP2A and Perinatal Lethality in Mice
BACKGROUND Phosphoprotein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a major serine-threonine protein phosphatase in eukaryotes, is an oligomeric protein comprised of structural (A) and catalytic (C) subunits to which a variable regulatory subunit (B) can associate. The C subunit contains a methyl ester post-translational modification on its C-terminal leucine residue, which is removed by a specific methylesterase...
