Identification of two nervous system-specific members of the erg potassium channel gene family.
Two new potassium channel genes, erg2 and erg3, that are expressed in the nervous system of the rat were identified. These two genes form a small gene family with the previously described erg1 (HERG) gene. The erg2 and erg3 genes are expressed exclusively in the nervous system, in marked contrast to erg1, which is expressed in both neural and non-neural tissues. All three genes are expressed in...
متن کاملA family of rat CRMP genes is differentially expressed in the nervous system.
Members of the collapsin/semaphorin family play an important role in creating the complex pattern of neuronal connectivity. Inhibition of growth cone motility by chick collapsin is mediated by the intraneuronal protein CRMP-62. We have now isolated four rat sequences that are highly related to chick CRMP-62. All four genes are expressed exclusively in the nervous system and primarily during dev...
متن کاملTwo vesicle-associated membrane protein genes are differentially expressed in the rat central nervous system.
Vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) 1 is a 120-amino acid protein which co-purifies with cholinergic synaptic vesicles from the marine ray Torpedo californica. We used the Torpedo gene to isolate two independent classes of VAMP cDNA clones from rat brain. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cDNAs predicts proteins which are 84 and 75% homologous to Torpedo VAMP-1. The amino-terminal 24-2...
متن کاملTwo members of the Fxr gene family, Fmr1 and Fxr1, are differentially expressed in Xenopus tropicalis.
The Fxr gene family is composed of three members, FMR1, FXR1 and FXR2. The FMR1 gene is involved in the fragile X syndrome, whereas for the other two members, no human disorder has been identified yet. An appropriate animal model to study in vivo gene function is essential to unravel the cellular function of the gene products FMRP, FXR1P and FXR2P, respectively. In Xenopus tropicalis both Fmr1 ...
متن کاملAn extended family of protein-tyrosine kinase genes differentially expressed in the vertebrate nervous system.
We have used PCR to identify 13 novel protein-tyrosine kinase genes (tyro-1 to -13), six of which (tyro-1 to -6) are preferentially expressed in the developing vertebrate nervous system. The tyro-2 and tyro-9 genes encode kinase domains that exhibit strong amino acid sequence similarity to the equivalent regions of the receptors for EGF and FGF, respectively, and may encode novel receptors for ...
