Functional characterization of alternatively spliced human SECISBP2 transcript variants
Synthesis of selenoproteins depends on decoding of the UGA stop codon as the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). This process requires the presence of a Sec insertion sequence element (SECIS) in the 3'-untranslated region of selenoprotein mRNAs and its interaction with the SECIS binding protein 2 (SBP2). In humans, mutations in the SBP2-encoding gene Sec insertion sequence binding protein 2 (SECIS...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced androgen receptor variants.
Alternative splicing is an important mechanism for increasing functional diversity from a limited set of genes. Deregulation of this process is common in diverse pathologic conditions. The androgen receptor (AR) is a steroid receptor transcription factor with functions critical for normal male development as well as the growth and survival of normal and cancerous prostate tissue. Studies of AR ...
متن کاملSelective secretion of alternatively spliced fibronectin variants
We demonstrate that the alternatively spliced variable (V) region of fibronectin (FN) is required for secretion of FN dimers during biosynthesis. Alternative splicing of the V segment of the rat FN transcript generates three subunit variants (V120, V95, V0) that differ by the inclusion or omission of an additional 120 or 95 amino acids. We are exploring the functions of this segment by expressi...
متن کاملFunctional 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 کاملA Drosophila dopamine 2-like receptor: Molecular characterization and identification of multiple alternatively spliced variants.
Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of both Drosophila and mammals. Despite the evolutionary distance, functional parallels exist between the fly and mammalian dopaminergic systems, with both playing roles in modulating locomotor activity, sexual function, and the response to drugs of abuse. In mammals, dopamine exerts its effects through either dopamine 1-li...
