Based on homology analysis and RT-PCR, a novel isoform of human TCP11 gene was isolated. It encodes a 503 amino acid protein that is highly homologous to the mouse 566 amino acid protein Tcp-11. Tcp-11 is important to sperm function because it may be the receptor of fertilization promoting peptide (FPP). Complicated alternative splicing was found to exist between TCP11a and TCP11b genes.
Objective To prove the validity of exon VIII alternative splicing of ERCC1 and study its function on the expression of ERCC1 gene and the role in the development of platinum based anticancer drug resistance.
Mutations in MYBPC3 were found in 2 pedigrees, 1 with complex mutation (Arg502Trp and splicing mutation IVS27+12C>T) and 1 with novel frame shift mutation (Gly347fs) and the latter pedigree has sudden death history.
The human cepo-A and cepo-B are composed of 4 and 5 exons respectively, the sequences of the intron/exon junctions were all exactly consistent with the typical GT/AG consensus motif of the splice donor and acceptor sites.
Based their sequence, we conclude that the cDNA cloned in our lab represents 4-kb isoform, the alternative poly(A) tailing cause 2-kb isoform, another exon splicing new transcript cause the 4.2-kb form, and we confimed 6-exons transcript by PCR amplification in human tissues including liver.
1587-1588 ins T involved a single base insertion be- tween nucleotides 1,587 and 1,588 in exon 9, and was predicted to result in frame shift and premature termination.
Aim To clone LVA calcium channel (also known as T-type calcium channel) from INS-1 cell line derived from rat pancreatic β cells. Methods RT-PCR, 3'-RACE and 5'-RACE were used to clone coding sequence of the whole gene. DNA sequencing and genomic DNA walking were used to identify the primary structure features and exons. Results The cloned gene, named as α1 G-INS, was composed of 6864 bp, encoding 2 288 amino acids, which shares 96. 3% identity to α1G, the neuronal T-type calcium channel. Compared to α1G, ...

Tcp-11 is important to sperm function because it may be the receptor of fertilization promoting peptide (FPP). Complicated alternative splicing was found to exist between TCP11a and TCP11b genes. The gene has been mapped to human chromosome band 6p21 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Results of Northern blot an...
Objective To identify a novel isoform of hTCPll gene and investigate its expression and alternative splicing. Methods According to the sequence of human ESTs which are highly homologous to hTCPlla, primers for PCR were synthesized. Then, the amplified fragments were cloned and sequenced; some methods including BLAST, ClustalW and RT-PCR were used for genomic analysis, study of alternative splicing and gene expression among multiple tissues and different testis tissues. Results A novel isoform of hTCPll gene...
