Characterization of murine erythropoietin receptor genes
Copyright policy )Characterization of murine erythropoietin receptor genes
We have isolated and characterized the murine genomic and complementary DNAs encoding erythropoietin (Epo) receptor from Epo-responsive and unresponsive mouse erythroleukemia cells. Two classes of Epo receptor cDNAs were isolated from Epo-responsive cells. One is a 55,000 Mr membrane-bound Epo receptor, and the other is a 29,000 Mr soluble Epo receptor lacking the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. As a result of alternative splicing, two insert sequences containing termination codons are produced, and the encoded polypeptide diverges four amino acids upstream from the transmembrane domain, adding 20 new amino acids before terminating. Amino acid sequence of the Epo receptor cDNA isolated from Epo-responsive cells was identical with that of Epo-unresponsive cells, indicating that Epo-responsiveness does not depend upon the primary structure of the Epo receptor (binding) protein. Analysis of 6.6 x 10(3) base-pairs (kb) genomic DNA segments covering complete Epo receptor gene and promoter regions revealed that potential regulatory elements (NF-E1, GF-1 or Eryf 1) for erythroid-specific and differentiation stage-specific gene expression are located in the promoter and 3' noncoding regions.
