Human CAAF1 gene--molecular cloning, gene structure, and chromosome mapping.

Abstract:

:We have isolated and characterized a cDNA and the gene of the human homologue of CAAF1, a novel member of the S100 calcium-binding protein family. The 276-bp open reading frame encoded a 92-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of 10,575 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence of human CAAF1 showed 66% homology to bovine CAAF1. The human CAAF1 gene consisted of three exons, with the two EF hand motifs of the CAAF1 protein separately encoded by exons 2 and 3. This gene was expressed at a high level in polymorphonuclear leukocytes and at an intermediate level in esophageal mucosa. The tissue distribution of CAAF1 mRNA was different from that of other S100 proteins. Direct R-banding fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that the human CAAF1 gene was mapped to chromosome 1q21.2-q22, where most of the S100 genes form a cluster.
