Conservation of the Upstream Augs and Orfs in the Human and Mouse 5’ Untranslated Region of the Mrnas for Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The human and mouse RefSec database of mRNAs for protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) was searched. The positions of the uAUG and uORF within the 5’untranslated region (5’UTR) were compared. It was shown that the uAUGs in all PTPs are conserved very strongly, suggesting the presence of a mechanism for translation down regulation. The uORFs in the receptor type PTPs, in contrast to the non-transmembrane PTPs, exhibit unusually high degree of evolutionary conservation. It is likely that in these PTPs translation control by elements present in the 5’UTR will be uncovered. Keyword: conservation, protein tyrosine phosphatases, 5’UTR, uAUG, uORF

Regional Assignment of Ptpre Encoding Protein Tyrosine Phosphataes ε to Mouse Chromosome 7F3
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) regulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of target proteins involved in several biological activities including cell proliferation and transformation. Protein tyrosine phosphatase E (PTPE) contains duplicated PTPase-like domains and a short extracellular region. Using the fluorescence in situ hybridization method, the gene encoding PTPE (locus symbol Ptpre...

Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) gene was cloned from a subtractive cDNA library constructed with mRNAs obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) macrophage cell line (RTS-11). Using expressed sequence tag clones of submitted IRF7 amino acid sequences, specific primers were designed. Results showed that IRF7 cDNA contains an ORF of 1251 nucleotides that translates into a 416 resi...
متن کاملRole of adenosine receptors and protein phosphatases in the reversal of pentylenetetrazol-induced potentiation phenomenon by theta pulse stimulation in the CA1 region of rat hippocampal slices
The effect of theta pulse stimulation (TPS) on pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced long-term potentiation of population spikes (PS) was studied in the hippocampal CA1 in vitro. A transient PTZ application produced a long-lasting enhancement of PS amplitude. A 3-min episode of TPS delivered at a higher intensity produced complete reversal of the PTZ potentiation when delivered during the last minute...
متن کاملCART classification of human 5' UTR sequences.
A nonredundant database of 2312 full-length human 5'-untranslated regions (UTRs) was carefully prepared using state-of-the-art experimental and computational technologies. A comprehensive computational analysis of this data was conducted for characterizing the 5' UTR features. Classification and regression tree (CART) analysis was used to classify the data into three distinct classes. Class I c...
متن کاملComplex translational regulation of BACE1 involves upstream AUGs and stimulatory elements within the 5′ untranslated region
BACE1 is the protease responsible for the production of amyloid-beta peptides that accumulate in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. BACE1 expression is regulated at the transcriptional, as well as post-transcriptional level. Very high BACE1 mRNA levels have been observed in pancreas, but the protein and activity were found mainly in brain. An up-regulation of the protein has been d...
