Abstract:
| We cloned cDNAs encoding mouse homologues for the human DNA helicase Q1/RecQL (human helicase Q1) which has homology with the Escherichia coli RecQ protein and found that they encode two isoforms. The two isoforms are identical over the entire sequence except for the carboxyl terminal sequence spanning less than 30 amino acids. One of the two isoforms, alpha, contains a sequence, KKRK, in the carboxyl terminus, which is also contained in human helicase Q1 and was confirmed to function as the nuclear localization signal. The other form, beta, does not contain such a sequence. Expression of mouse helicase Q1 mRNA is extremely and relatively high in the testis and the thymus, respectively. RT-PCR analysis revealed that helicase Q1alpha was expressed in all tissues tested and the beta form was expressed only in the testis. A survey of expression of Q1alpha and Q1beta mRNA in the testis after birth revealed that Q1alpha mRNA is expressed in all testes of mice aged from 7 days to 8 weeks, and the expression of Q1beta mRNA begins 14 days after birth, corresponding to the appearance of cells in the pachytene stage. |
