Cloning of the gene and complete cDNA encoding a type 2 deiodinase from Fundulus heteroclitus.

Abstract:

:Recently, we reported the cloning of a cDNA fragment from Fundulus heteroclitus liver encoding the open reading frame of type 2 deiodinase (FhD2). We here report the cloning of 14 kb of genomic sequence from F. heteroclitus that includes the previously reported coding region of the F. heteroclitus Dio2 gene (FhDio2), the 5(') and 3(') untranslated regions, and flanking regions and introns. This FhDio2 gene comprises two exons divided by a 4.8-kb intron. The position of the intron is similar to that of introns in other Dio2 genes. The analysis of approximately 1.3 kb of genomic sequence upstream of the mRNA start site revealed that, in contrast to mammalian Dio2 genes, there were no apparent TATA or CRE sequences. Nevertheless, a putative Sp1 site was found, similar to that in other F. heteroclitus TATA-less promoters. We have also cloned the complete FhD2 cDNA, which spans 4652 bp and contains a sequence adjacent to its poly(A) tail that is highly similar to the selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) found in human D2 cDNA. The expression of a construct containing the FhD2 ORF plus the native SECIS resulted in a protein with deiodinase activity similar to that of the native FhD2. Analysis of the regulation of this gene, combined with ongoing studies of the F. heteroclitus D1 gene, will allow us to elucidate the functions of the colocalized deiodinases in teleost liver.
