Mouse lysozyme M gene: isolation, characterization, and expression studies.

Mouse lysozyme M gene: isolation, characterization, and expression studies.

We have isolated and characterized both cDNA and genomic DNA of the mouse lysozyme M gene. Derivation of the amino acid sequence from the nucleotide sequences revealed six positions in the carboxyl terminus that differ from partial sequences previously published. The differential detection of specific mRNAs from the closely related lysozyme M and P genes has revealed different but overlapping t...

Isolation of the mouse nyctalopin gene nyx and expression studies in mouse and rat retina.

PURPOSE It has been shown recently that mutations in NYX (nyctalopin on chromosome X), encoding a novel protein associated with the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein superfamily, are responsible for the complete form of X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB1). This study describes the isolation and molecular characterization of the mouse orthologue Nyx and its expression pattern ...

Isolation and characterization of fig lysozyme.

In vivo protein interaction with the mouse M-lysozyme gene downstream enhancer correlates with demethylation and gene expression.

Differentiation of myeloid precursor cells results in transcriptional activation of the myeloid-specific murine M-lysozyme gene. M-lysozyme gene expression depends on the differentiation state of the myeloid cells and provides a marker for myeloid leukemias. The mouse lysozyme downstream enhancer (MLDE) was colocalized previously with the DNase I hypersensitive site in the chromatin of mature m...

Isolation of the lysozyme gene of chicken.

The lysozyme gene has been purified by molecular cloning from two chicken gene libraries. Several recombinant phages harbouring sequences homologous to a plasmid carrying a double stranded lysozyme cDNA have been isolated. One recombinant appears to carry an entire lysozyme gene. Electron microscopic studies show that the latter is split by at least three introns. The length of the gene is abou...
