Specific expression of Neu2 type B in mouse thymus and the existence of a membrane-bound form in COS cells.

Abstract:

:Neu2 mRNA from the mouse thymus, as we have reported [K. Kotani, A. Kuroiwa, T. Saito, Y. Matsuda, T. Koda, S. Kijimoto-Ochiai, Cloning, chromosomal mapping, and characteristic 5'-UTR sequence of murine cytosolic sialidase, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 286 (2001) 250-258], has a novel sequence at the 5' terminus that shows the ability to encode 6 extra amino acids in the N-terminus than that of the muscle. In this paper, we analyzed the cDNA and EST database and found the five types of alternative splicing of Neu2 mRNA: A, B, C, D and N. We studied the expression of these types in the immune tissues and found that the thymus expressed only type B. We constructed 2 types of plasmid that encode long (B) or short (C) form of Neu2 protein, and transfected them into COS7 cells to study them under the same conditions. We found that 30-40% of the both forms of Neu2 activity was located in the crude membrane-fraction, and hydrolyzed ganglioside effectively, while both soluble fraction showed particular behavior with substrate specificity. Microscopic study by active staining with X-NANA showed that they located not only in the cytoplasm but also in areas surrounding the nucleus and in the peripheral ruffled spot.
