Subcellular and developmental expression of alternatively spliced forms of fibroblast growth factor 14
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) 11-14 comprise a subfamily of FGFs with poorly defined biological function. Here we characterize two isoforms of FGF14 (FGF14-1a and FGF14-1b) that result from the alternative usage of two different first exons. We demonstrate that these isoforms have differential subcellular localization and that they are differentially expressed in various adult tissues. Using...
متن کاملRetroviral expression of alternatively spliced forms of rat fibronectin
We describe the construction in retroviral vectors and the expression of recombinant rat fibronectin (FN) cDNAs corresponding with the various alternatively spliced forms of FN. In NIH 3T3 cells, the exogenous rat FN subunits are efficiently secreted as heterodimers with endogenous mouse subunits. In contrast, in lymphoid WEHI231 cells, there is no endogenous FN synthesis and the recombinant FN...
متن کاملDifferential expression of alternatively spliced mRNA forms of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor in human neuroendocrine tumors.
The activation of the insulin-like growth factor 1/IGF1 receptor system (IGF1/IGF1R) is a critical event in the transformation and tumorigenicity processes in a wide variety of human tumors. The IGF1/IGF1R system has been recently studied in carcinoid tumors that often arise in the gastrointestinal tract; these tumors are characterized by hypersecretion of bioamines and neuropeptides, leading t...
متن کاملInternal ribosome entry site structural motifs conserved among mammalian fibroblast growth factor 1 alternatively spliced mRNAs.
Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1) is a powerful angiogenic factor whose gene structure contains four promoters, giving rise to a process of alternative splicing resulting in four mRNAs with alternative 5' untranslated regions (5' UTRs). Here we have identified, by using double luciferase bicistronic vectors, the presence of internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) in the human FGF-1 5' UTRs, part...
متن کاملNeuronatin mRNA: alternatively spliced forms of a novel brain-specific mammalian developmental gene.
Neurogenesis begins with the closure of the neural tube around mid gestation and continues in the rat for about two weeks postnatally. Therefore, we investigated the role of neuronatin, a novel cDNA that we cloned from neonatal rat brain (Joseph et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 201 (1994) 1227-1234), in brain development. Further studies described in the present manuscript, lead to the i...
