Through large-scale sequencing of clones randomly selected from libraries of human cDNAs, we have isolated a novel human gene encoding a product with 59.6% identity in amino acid sequence to human MTA1, a protein associated with tumor invasion and metastasis. This cDNA, named MTA1-L1 (MTA1 like 1), consists of 2736 nucleotides with an open reading frame encoding 668 amino acids. A single 3.0-kb transcript of MTA1-L1 was expressed ubiquitously on Northern blots. Structural analysis of the MTA1-L1 gene revealed 18 exons spanning 8.1 kb of genomic DNA. We assigned the MTA1-L1 locus to chromosomal band 11q12-13.1 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
通过对从人类cDNA文库中随机挑选的克隆进行大规模测序,我们分离出了一个新的人类基因,其编码产物的氨基酸序列与人类MTA1有59.6%的同一性,MTA1是一种与肿瘤侵袭和转移相关的蛋白质。这个cDNA被命名为MTA1-L1(MTA1样1),由2736个核苷酸组成,有一个编码668个氨基酸的开放阅读框。在Northern印迹上,MTA1-L1的一个单一3.0-kb转录本在各处均有表达。对MTA1-L1基因的结构分析显示,它有18个外显子,跨越8.1 kb的基因组DNA。我们通过荧光原位杂交将MTA1-L1基因座定位到染色体带11q12-13.1。
