Analysis of cag-8: a novel poly(Q)-encoding gene in the mouse brain.

Abstract:

:We identified 13 transcript isoforms of a trinucleotide-repeat-containing gene, cag-8, that is expressed almost exclusively in the mouse brain. The polypeptide deduced from the cDNA consists of 137 AAs, of which 74 are glutamines. The 130-kb gene is composed of 16 exons, from which at least 13 isoforms with variable UTRs are formed by alternative splicing. A strong positive cis-acting element was found in the neuroblastomaxglioma hybrid NG108-15 and human embryonic kidney HEK293 cell lines. The cag-8 protein was localized in the cytosol and in granular bodies within the nucleus. These findings indicate that cag-8 is a novel poly(Q)-encoding gene, the expression of which is confined primarily to the brain.

  • Dissect Kif5b in nuclear positioning during myogenesis: the light chain binding domain and the autoinhibitory peptide are both indispensable.

    abstract::The microtubule motor kinesin-1 is responsible for the nuclear positioning during myogenesis. Here we show that the coiled-coil stalk/tail domain containing the kinesin light chain (KLC) binding sites targets to the perinuclear region like endogenous Kif5b, while the globular tail domain cannot. To investigate which f...
