Genomic organization and expression of mouse Tpt1 gene☆

Edité par CCSD ; Elsevier -

International audience. The translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP), also known as histamine-releasing factor (HRF), is encoded by a gene (Tpt1) that is highly conserved throughout phylogeny. TCTP is implicated in cell growth, acute allergic response, and apoptosis. In the present study, seven putative Tpt1 genes with different chromosomal localizations were identified in the mouse genome. In six of them, analysis of the 5' and 3' untranslated regions revealed the presence of flanking direct repeats and residual poly(A) tails typical of pseudogenes. Only three of the seven genes can produce a protein of the expected molecular weight. We isolated the genomic DNA of these three genes to analyze their sequence, genomic organization, and in vitro promoter activity. We found that mouse Tpt1 is localized on chromosome 14 with a canonical intron-exon organization, a functional promoter, and only one transcript that is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues.
