Cloning and expression of sprint, a Drosophila homologue of RIN1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The small GTPase Ras is critical for regulation of growth and differentiation during development. The mammalian protein RIN1 is a potential Ras effector protein, which can also interact with the Abelson tyrosine kinase. However, its biological function is unknown. We have identified the Drosophila homologue of RIN1, called sprint, for SH2, poly-proline containing Ras interactor. The sprint locus is very large and contains at least two differentially expressed isoforms (sprint-a and sprint-b). Both isoforms are expressed in the ovary and maternal mRNA is deposited into embryos. In addition, sprint is zygotically expressed in the developing midgut, amnioserosa and in a specific subset of CNS neurons. The expression patterns of the two sprint isoforms are temporally distinct suggesting that the isoforms may have unique functions.

Cloning and developmental expression of Sna, a murine homologue of the Drosophila snail gene.
The genetic analysis of dorsoventral patterning in Drosophila has identified a zinc-finger gene, snail, that is required for mesoderm formation. The cloning and nuclease protection analysis of a Xenopus homologue of this gene has suggested a possible role in the mesoderm of vertebrates. Here, we describe the cloning of a murine homologue of snail, Sna, and in situ hybridisation studies of its d...
متن کاملLow RIN1 expression in HCC is associated with tumor invasion and unfavorable prognosis.
OBJECTIVES To explore the association between the expression of Ras and Rab interactor 1 (RIN1) and the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS RIN1 expression was detected in paired HCC tissues by real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry. Transfection was applied to analyze the RIN1 function. RESULTS We found that expression of the R...
متن کاملChange of Rin1 and Stathmin in the Animal Model of Traumatic Stresses
The molecular mechanism of fear memory is poorly understood. Therefore, the pathogenesis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), whose symptom presentation can enhance fear memory, remains largely unclear. Recent studies with knockout animals have reported that Rin1 and stathmin regulate fear memory. Rin1 inhibits acquisition and promotes memory extinction, whereas stathmin regulates innate a...
متن کاملCloning and gene expression of cytochrome P450 gene from Alcanivorax borkumensis Bacterium
Alcanivorax borkumensis is a marine bacterium that has ability to grow on limited substrates that mainly is alkanes. The ability to use wide range of hydrocarbons is advantage of this bacterium to other marine community bacteria. A. borkumensis have two genetic systems for alkane biodegradation. The First system is alkane hydroxylase (alk-B1and alk-B2) and the second system is...
