目的分离人染色体8p11.2亚带ANK1位点附近区域基因的表达序列。方法采用cDNA选择法从定位于该区域的人工酵母染色体(YAC)中分离基因的表达序列,并从分离的表达序列中选取1个序列用于筛选人胎脑cDNA文库。结果获得7个表达序列,其中5个可与目的YAC反杂交。所得的表达序列BHLC152与鼠的CArG盒结合因子基因高度同源,BHLC74与编码心室肌肌球蛋白的碱性轻链1(MLC1)基因高度同源,表明BHLC74可能编码一种MLC1的同工蛋白。分离的其它表达序列与数据库内一些位置和功能尚不清楚的表达序列标签(expresedse-quencetag,EST)仅有部分同源性。用表达序列BHLC119筛选人胎脑cDNA文库,获得1个插入片段长1951bp的克隆,序列分析表明它编码174个氨基酸,该序列与所有已知的蛋白质序列无同源性。Northern印迹分析结果显示,在人胎脑总RNA中呈现1条约3.5kb带;组织表达分析表明,此系一广泛表达的基因。结论BHLC74可能作为与8p相关的心脏病候选基因,其它序列至少可以作为定位在ANK1位点附近区域的肿瘤抑制基因的初筛基因。
Objective To isolate the sequence of the gene in the vicinity of the ANK1 locus on chromosome 8p11.2. Methods The cDNA was isolated from the artificial yeast chromosome (YAC) located in this region and one sequence was selected from the isolated expression sequences for screening the human fetal brain cDNA library. As a result, seven expression sequences were obtained, of which five were hybridized with the desired YAC. The resulting expression sequence BHLC152 is highly homologous to the murine CArG box binding factor gene and BHLC74 is highly homologous to the ventricular myoglobin-encoding basic light chain 1 (MLC1) gene, indicating that BHLC74 may encode a co-protein of MLC1 . The other expressed sequences separated only partially homologues from the expresedse-quencetag (EST) in some unknown positions in the database. The human fetal brain cDNA library was screened with the expression sequence BHLC119 to obtain a 1951bp cloned clone. The sequence analysis indicated that it encodes 174 amino acids, which has no homology with all known protein sequences. Northern blot analysis showed that there was one 3.5kb band in total RNA of human fetal brain. Tissue expression analysis showed that this gene was a widely expressed gene. Conclusions BHLC74 may serve as a candidate gene for heart disease associated with 8p, and other sequences may serve as primary screening genes for tumor suppressor genes located at least in the vicinity of the ANK1 locus.
