| abstractText | We have isolated and sequenced cDNA clones of bovine and murine p11 mRNAs. The nonpolyadenylated mRNAs are predicted to be 614 and 600 nucleotides, respectively. The p11 mRNAs both contain a 291 nucleotide open reading frame, preceded by a 5'-untranslated region of 73 nucleotides in bovine p11 mRNA and of 68 nucleotides in murine p11 mRNA. The deduced bovine p11 amino acid sequence is identical to the previously published partial bovine and complete porcine p11 protein sequence except for an additional COOH-terminal lysine residue. The bovine and murine p11 proteins are 92% homologous, whereas at the nucleotide level the conservation is 89% in the coding region and 75% in the 3'-untranslated region. Southern analysis of murine genomic DNA detected a single p11 gene, less than 10 kilobase pairs in size, containing as many as three introns. The p11 gene has been assigned to mouse chromosome 3 by analysis of interspecific hybrid cell panels and recombinant inbred mouse strains. The p11 gene is closely linked to the Xmmv-65 endogenous leukemia virus env gene and the guanylate binding protein-1 gene. Northern analyses of RNAs from mouse tissues and cell lines indicated that p11 mRNA levels vary widely. They are very low in liver, heart, and testes, moderate in brain, spleen, and thymus, and high in kidney, intestine, and lung. Analysis of the same RNA samples for p36 mRNA levels showed that expression of p11 and p36 mRNAs is not always coordinated. Brain and the mouse embryonal carcinoma cell line F9 contain moderate to high levels of p11 mRNA with very low levels of p36 mRNA. Sequence homology between p11 and the S100 proteins, and the serum-induced 2A9 gene product, as well as possible functions of p11 are discussed. |
