چکیده
Intercellular adhesion molecule-2 (ICAM-2), a cell surface glycoprotein, is a second counter-receptor for lymphocyte function-associated Ag-1 (LFA-1). We report here the isolation and characterization of the cDNA and the gene that encode murine ICAM-2 (Accession numbers X65493 and X65490, respectively). The deduced sequence of the cDNA has 60% amino acid identity with its human counterpart and has the same expression pattern in cells and tissues. Furthermore, COS cells transfected with mouse ICAM-2 complementary and genomic DNA bind to purified human LFA-1, demonstrating the conservation of the function of ICAM-2 as a ligand for LFA-1 and conservation across species of sequences that are critical for binding to human LFA-1. COS cells transfected with the ICAM-2 cDNA do not react with mAb PA3, previously suggested to define ICAM-2 in the mouse. The mouse ICAM-2 gene was isolated and its structural organization determined. The gene is present in a single copy in the mouse genome and contains four exons spanning about 5.0 kb of DNA. The exon/intron architecture correlates to the structural domains of the protein and resembles that of other Ig superfamily members. The gene for ICAM-2, which is constitutively expressed in endothelial cells, has several conserved sequence motifs in its promoter region, including a direct repeat, and lacks transcription factor-binding sites present in the ICAM-1 gene, which is inducible in endothelial cells.

An efficient DNA isolation protocol specifically modified to get pure quality DNA required for molecular studieshas been reported in this paper. Some aquatic plants (Potamogeton spp., Ceratophyllum demersum and Myriophyllum spicatum) were used for the study. The protocol developed will be useful in getting high and pure DNA. Instead of using the available DNA extraction kits, this protocol can ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of the mouse gene for the type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase.
The type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase (D3) is a selenoenzyme that inactivates thyroid hormones by removing a iodine from the 5-position of the tyrosyl ring. D3 is highly expressed in many tissues during the early stages of development, and its activity is regulated by selected growth factors and various hormones. To gain further insights into the structure, functional role, and regulation of this...
