Alternative splicing of the human CDC25B tyrosine phosphatase. Possible implications for growth control?

Abstract

CDC25B2, a protein tyrosine phosphatase closely related to the putative CDC25B oncogene, was identified in a Burkitt lymphoma cDNA library. CDC25B2 differs from CDC25B by a 14 residue insertion and a 41 residue deletion, which are both located in the amino-terminal region of the protein, upstream of the catalytic domain. Examination of the genomic sequence revealed that CDC25B1 (formerly B) and CDC25B2 are splice variants of the same gene. A third variant, CDC25B3, that carries both the 14 and the 41 residue sequences was also identified in the same cDNA library. All three variants were detected in a panel of human primary culture and cell lines, although at different levels. In primary fibroblasts and in HeLa cells the CDC25B expression is cell cycle regulated, reaching a maximum in G2-phase. In vitro, CDC25B1 phosphatase is slightly more active than CDC25B2 and B3. However, episomal overexpression of the three CDC25B variants in fission yeast reveals that in vivo, CDC25B2 is largely more active than either B1 or B3 (B2>B3>B1) both to complement a thermosensitive S pombe CDC25 activity and to act as a mitotic inducer. Alternative splicing of CDC25B may therefore contribute to the control of cell proliferation.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
