Abstract

Rae1 alpha, Rae1 beta, and Rae1 gamma cDNAs isolated from retinoic acid-treated mouse embryonal carcinoma F9 cells encode cell surface proteins sharing partial homology with MHC class I molecules, and mRNAs corresponding to these cDNAs were detected exclusively in early mouse embryos, especially in the head region. To initiate studies on their roles, the rae1 alpha gene and the genomic DNAs covering the complete coding regions of the rae1 beta and rae1 gamma genes were isolated and their structures were analyzed. Although the coding regions of the three rae1 genes were highly homologous, the restriction map of the 5'-end region of the rae1 alpha gene differed from that of the rae1 beta and rae1 gamma genes. The rae1 family members were mapped by FISH on mouse chromosome 10A4 region. Genomic DNAs hybridizable with a Rae1 cDNA were not detected in rat and human. Rae1 genes were preferentially expressed in early mouse embryos, preferentially in the brain, and RAE1 proteins were anchored on the cell surface by a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-tail, a feature shared by important cell surface ligands.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
