Complementary DNA sequencing: expressed sequence tags and human genome project.
Automated partial DNA sequencing was conducted on more than 600 randomly selected human brain complementary DNA (cDNA) clones to generate expressed sequence tags (ESTs). ESTs have applications in the discovery of new human genes, mapping of the human genome, and identification of coding regions in genomic sequences. Of the sequences generated, 337 represent new genes, including 48 with signific...
متن کاملHuman growth hormone: complementary DNA cloning and expression in bacteria.
The nucleotide sequence of a DNA complementary to human growth hormone messenger RNA was cloned; it contains 29 nucleotides in its 5' untranslated region, the 651 nucleotides coding for the prehormone, and the entire 3' untranslated region (108 nucleotides). The data reported predict the previously unknown sequence of the signal peptide of human growth hormone and, by comparison with the previo...
متن کاملOxetane Substrates of Human Microsomal Epoxide Hydrolase.
Oxetanyl building blocks are increasingly used in drug discovery because of the improved drug-like properties they confer on drug candidates, yet little is currently known about their biotransformation. A series of oxetane-containing analogs was studied and we provide the first direct evidence of oxetane hydrolysis by human recombinant microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH). Incubations with human ...
متن کاملMicrosomal epoxide hydrolase polymorphisms.
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase plays a dual role in the activation and detoxification of carcinogenic compounds. Two polymorphic sites have been described in exons 3 and 4 of the microsomal epoxide hydrolase gene that change tyrosine residue 113 to histidine (Tyr113His) and histidine 139 to arginine (His139Arg), respectively. The exon 3 polymorphism reduces enzyme activity by approximately 50%, w...
متن کاملFingerprinting of cytochrome P450 and microsomal epoxide hydrolase gene expression in human blood cells.
To examine the character and variability of human cytochrome P450 (CYP) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) gene expression in human blood cells, we used a highly sensitive, quantitative, competitive reverse transcriptase-coupled polymerase chain reaction (QC RT-PCR) assay to assess mRNA profiles for a battery of 8 genes, in peripheral lymphocytes isolated from 10 healthy donors. Of the gene...
