Characterization of a novel human gene containing ANK repeats and ARM domains.

Abstract:

:We report here on characterization of a novel human gene on chromosome 2q32, containing several ankyrin repeats and ARM domains. The gene FLJ25415, including at least 31 exons and spanning about 90kb of a gene-rich genomic region, is present in the human genome as a single copy. It seems highly conserved along the mammalian phylogeny. By analysing FLJ25415 gene expression in different human tissues, we demonstrated a ubiquitously expression pattern with extensive alternative splicing. In silico prediction of promoter regions revealed the presence of a TATA box and some hypothetical transcription factor binding sites, such as TMF, C/EBPalpha, LE-1, and NF-ATp.

  • Structural requirements of C-type natriuretic peptide for elevation of cyclic GMP in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells.

    abstract::C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), which was recently found to be a selective ligand for one of the two known natriuretic peptide receptor guanylyl cyclases (NPR-B), potently stimulates cGMP production in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and exerts potent antiproliferative effects on the cells. To inves...
