Functional characterization of alternatively spliced human SERCA3 transcripts.
The sarcoplasmic (or endoplasmic) reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA)-3 has been implicated in the possible dysregulation of Ca2+ homeostasis that accompanies the pathology of hypertension and diabetes. We report the molecular cloning of two alternatively spliced transcripts from the human SERCA3 gene, ATP2A3, that encode proteins that differ at their carboxy termini by 36 amino acids. SERCA3 transcr...
متن کاملAnnotation of Alternatively Spliced Proteins and Transcripts with Protein-Folding Algorithms and Isoform-Level Functional Networks.
Tens of thousands of splice isoforms of proteins have been catalogued as predicted sequences from transcripts in humans and other species. Relatively few have been characterized biochemically or structurally. With the extensive development of protein bioinformatics, the characterization and modeling of isoform features, isoform functions, and isoform-level networks have advanced notably. Here w...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of alternatively spliced transcripts of the mouse neurofibromatosis 2 gene.
The human neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) gene has recently been isolated and predicted to encode a novel protein named merlin. Based on its high homology to the moesin-ezrin-radixin family of proteins, it may be involved in mediating interactions between the plasma membrane and the cytoskeleton. Here we report the isolation and characterization of multiple transcript isoforms of the mouse NF2 gene. ...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced transcripts of the flp-1 gene encode distinct FMRFamide-like peptides in Caenorhabditis elegans.
We have isolated and characterized several cDNAs and the corresponding genomic region of a gene encoding multiple FMRFamide-like neuropeptides from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The gene, named flp-1, consists of six exons of which four encode FMRFamide-like peptides. The cDNA and genomic sequences revealed that two distinct transcripts are generated by the use of an alternative 3' splic...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced transcripts of the aromatase cytochrome P450 (CYP19) gene in adipose tissue of women.
Estrogen biosynthesis in adipose tissue has assumed great significance in terms of a number of estrogen-related diseases. The biosynthesis of estrogens from C19 steroids is catalyzed by a specific form of cytochrome P450, namely aromatase cytochrome P450 (P450arom; the product of the CYP19 gene). The human CYP19 gene comprises nine coding exons, II-X, and its transcripts are expressed in the ov...
