Human cathepsin S: chromosomal localization, gene structure, and tissue distribution.
The human lysosomal cysteine proteinases, cathepsins H, L, and B, have been mapped to chromosomes 15, 9, and 8, respectively, and the genomic structures of cathepsins L and B have been determined. We report here the chromosomal localization and partial gene structure for a recently sequenced human cysteine proteinase, cathepsin S. A 20-kilobase pair genomic clone of the human cathepsin S gene w...
متن کاملcDNA cloning, tissue distribution and chromosomal localization of the human ID4 gene.
A cDNA e encoding the human Id4 protein has been isolated from an astrocytoma library. The predicted protein product shares 98% identity with the mouse Id4 protein and is markedly different from that already reported. By FISH analysis, the human ID4 gene was more precisely mapped to chromosome 6p22.3-p23. Northern blot analysis showed that ID4 is mainly expressed in thyroid, brain and fetal tis...
متن کاملStructure and chromosomal localization of the human thrombospondin gene.
Thrombospondin (THBS1) is a large modular glycoprotein component of the extracellular matrix and contains a variety of distinct domains, including three repeating subunits (types I, II, and III) that share homology to an assortment of other proteins. Determination of THBS1 gene structure has revealed that the type I repeat modules are encoded by symmetrical exons and that the heparin-binding do...
متن کاملStructure, expression and chromosomal localization of human p80-coilin gene.
Coiled bodies (CBs) are non-capsular nuclear bodies with a diameter of 0.3-1 micron and appear to be composed of coiled fibrils. Human autoantibodies to CBs recognize an 80-kD nuclear protein highly enriched in CBs, and this protein has been named p80-coilin. CBs are known to assemble and disassemble during the cell cycle, with the highest number of CBs occurring at mid to late G1 where p80-coi...
متن کاملGenomic organization and chromosomal localization of the human cathepsin G gene.
Cathepsin G is a 26,000-Da serine protease that is found in the azurophil granules of neutrophils and monocytes. The cathepsin G gene is expressed at high levels in U937 promonocytic cells, but is down-regulated with phorbol-induced differentiation. To characterize the genomic sequences responsible for the regulated expression of this gene, we screened a human genomic fibroblast library using c...
