Abstract

Reelin is the protein defective in reeler mice, an extensively studied model of brain development. The reelin gene (symbol Reln) codes for a protein of the extracellular matrix that contains eight successive repeats of 350 to 390 amino acids. In this work, we describe the genomic structure of the mouse reelin gene and the 5'-flanking genomic DNA sequences. The reelin gene is composed of 65 exons spread over approximately 450 kb of genomic DNA. We identified different reelin transcripts, formed by alternative splicing of a microexon as well as by use of two different polyadenylation sites. All splice sites conform to the GT-AG rule, except for the splice donor site of intron 30, which is GC instead of GT. A processed pseudogene is present in intron 42. Its nucleotide sequence is 86% identical to the sequence of the rat RDJ1 cDNA, which codes for a DnaJ-like protein of the Hsp40 family. Comparison of 8 intron positions in mouse and human reelin genes reveals a highly conserved genomic structure, suggesting a similar structure of the whole gene in both species. We identified two transcription start sites embedded within a CpG. The promoter region contains putative recognition sites for the transcription factors Sp1 and AP2 but lac...Continue Reading

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.
