The mouse genome contains two nonallelic pro-opiomelanocortin genes.
In the anterior pituitary pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is the protein precursor to both adrenocorticotropin and beta-lipotropin but in the intermediate pituitary POMC serves as the precursor to alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and beta-endorphin. In addition, POMC expression in the anterior pituitary is inhibited by glucocorticoids but stimulated by corticotropin-releasing factor while POMC ...
متن کاملExpression of two nonallelic type II procollagen genes during Xenopus laevis embryogenesis is characterized by stage-specific production of alternatively spliced transcripts
The pattern of type II collagen expression during Xenopus laevis embryogenesis has been established after isolating specific cDNA and genomic clones. Evidence is presented suggesting that in X. laevis there are two transcriptionally active copies of the type II procollagen gene. Both genes are activated at the beginning of neurula stage and steady-state mRNA levels progressively increase therea...
متن کاملEvolution of duplicate genes in a tetraploid animal, Xenopus laevis.
To understand the evolution of duplicate genes, we compared rates of nucleotide substitution between 17 pairs of nonallelic duplicated genes in the tetraploid frog Xenopus laevis with rates between the orthologous loci of human and rodent. For all duplicated X. laevis genes, the number of synonymous substitutions per site (dS) was greater than the number of nonsynonymous substitutions per site ...
متن کاملDevelopmental expression profiles of Xenopus laevis reference genes.
Cell differentiation depends mainly on specific mRNA expression. To quantify the expression of a particular gene, the normalisation with respect to the expression of a reference gene is carried out. This is based on the assumption that the expression of the reference gene is constant during development, in different cells or tissues or after treatment. Xenopus laevis studies have frequently use...
متن کاملGenes for Xenopus laevis U3 small nuclear RNA.
Genomic Southern blots showed there are only 14 to 20 copies of U3 snRNA genes per somatic genome in Xenopus laevis, unlike the highly repetitive, tandem arrangement of other snRNA genes in this organism. Sequencing of two U3 snRNA genes from lambda clones of a genomic library revealed striking similarity upstream, but much more divergence downstream. Consensus motifs common to other U snRNA ge...
