Organization and alternative splicing of the murine phospholipase D2 gene.

چکیده
Phospholipase D (PLD) catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine, generating phosphatidic acid and choline. Mammalian PLD activity derives from a family of membrane-associated enzymes that are activated by a wide variety of signal transduction events. cDNA species encoding human, mouse and rat PLD1 and PLD2 have recently been reported. In this study we undertook to determine the organization of the mouse PLD2 gene. We report that the gene spans 17.1 kb and contains 25 exons. Mouse PLD2 is notable for a relatively GC-rich and large 5' untranslated region. Proximal promoter sequences upstream of the first exon contain several consensus SP1 sequences (GGGCGG) but lack TATA and CAAT boxes. Finally, alternatively spliced cDNA species identified for PLD1 and PLD2 are discussed in the context of the PLD2 genomic organization.

Role of Aberrant Alternative Splicing in Cancer
Alternative splicing can alter genome sequence and as a consequence, many genes change to oncogenes. This event can also affect protein function and diversity. The growing number of study elucidate the pathological influence of impaired alternative splicing events on numerous disease including cancer. Here, we would like to highlight the significant role of alternative splicing in cancer biolog...
متن کاملColony Forming Unit Endothelial Cells Do not Exhibit Telomerase Alternative Splicing Variants and Activity
Introduction: Endothelial progenitor colony forming unit-endothelial cells (CFU-EC) were first believed to be the progenitors of endothelial cells, named endothelial progenitor cells. Further studies revealed that they are monocytes regulating vasculogenesis. The main hindrance of these cells for therapeutic purposes is their low frequency and limited replicative potentials. This study was unde...
متن کاملAlcoholism and Alternative Splicing of Candidate Genes
Gene expression studies have shown that expression patterns of several genes have changed during the development of alcoholism. Gene expression is regulated not only at the level of transcription but also through alternative splicing of pre-mRNA. In this review, we discuss some of the evidence suggesting that alternative splicing of candidate genes such as DRD2 (encoding dopamine D2 receptor) m...
متن کاملAlternative splicing at the MEFV locus involved in familial Mediterranean fever regulates translocation of the marenostrin/pyrin protein to the nucleus.
Mutations in MEFV, a gene encoding a protein (marenostrin/pyrin) of unknown function, are associated with familial Mediterranean fever, a genetic condition characterized by febrile episodes of serosal inflammation. Based on its primary structure, this 781 residue protein is thought to function as a nuclear effector molecule. However, recent transient expression studies indicated a perinuclear c...
متن کاملIn vitro Interaction and Colocalization of HSV-1 ORF P with a Cellular Splicing Factor (SC35) Using Pulldown Assay
Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) causes a variety of diseases in human. This virus is a neurotropic pathogen of human that establishes latent infection in the sensory ganglia innervating the site of primary infection. A number of genes including ICP34.5 control HSV-1 pathogenicity and ICP34.5 has been identified as HSV-1 virulence gene. Open reading frame P (ORF P) is also a HSV-1 gene that ...
