title: [A new human cellular protein AUP1. II. cDNA cloning, genomic organization of Aup1 gene ans preliminary characterization of human AUP1 protein].
abstract: We report here the cloning of human cDNA of Aup1 gene (ancient uniquitous protein 1), its genomic organization and preliminary characterization of human AUP1 protein. Genomic length of the human Aup1 gene is composed of 12 exons and 11 introns spanning 3047 bp. A single open reading frame of 1230 bp starts with the first ATG from nucleotide 5630 of the genomic sequence, in accordance with the Kazak rule, and stops with TGA on nucleotide 8500 of the genomic sequence AC005041.2. The 3 noncoding region has a 152 bp length followed by poly(A)tail. All exon-intron junctions conform to 5' donor and 3' acceptor consensus. Exon and intron sizes range from 69 to 187 bp, and from 180 to 262 bp, resp. We have cloned a full-length human Aup1 cDNA. For preliminary characterization of human AUP1 protein, we cloned the full-length human Aup1 cDNA in pcDNA3 vector. In vitro transcription/translation of the cloned cDNA yielded a 45 kDa protein. Human Aup1 coding region demonstrates 90% homology to its rat and mouse homologous at the nucleotide level, and 82% at the amine acid level.
