1. The vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPases (V-ATPases) are a family of multimeric proton pumps involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. We have identified two novel mouse genes, Atp6e1 and Atp6e2, encoding testis-specific (E1) and ubiquitous (E2) V-ATPase subunit E isoforms, respectively. The E1 transcript appears about 3 weeks after birth, corresponding to the start of meiosis, and is expressed specifically in round spermatids in seminiferous tubules. Immunohistochemistry with isoform-specific antibodies revealed that the V-ATPase with E1 and a2 isoforms is located specifically in developing acrosomes of spermatids and acrosomes in mature sperm. In contrast, the E2 isoform was expressed in all tissues examined and present in the perinuclear compartments of spermatocytes. The E1 isoform exhibits 70% identity with the E2, and both isoforms functionally complemented a null mutation of the yeast counterpart VMA4, indicating that they are bona fide V-ATPase subunits. The chimeric enzymes showed slightly lower K(m)(ATP) than yeast V-ATPase. Consistent with the temperature-sensitive growth of Deltavma4-expressing E1 isoform, vacuolar membrane vesicles exhibited temperature-sensitive coupling between ATP hydrolysis and proton transport. These results suggest that E1 isoform is essential for energy coupling involved in acidification of acrosome. PMID: [11872743]
2. This study describes comprehensive polling of transcription start and termination sites and analysis of previously unidentified full-length complementary DNAs derived from the mouse genome. We identify the 5' and 3' boundaries of 181,047 transcripts with extensive variation in transcripts arising from alternative promoter usage, splicing, and polyadenylation. There are 16,247 new mouse protein-coding transcripts, including 5154 encoding previously unidentified proteins. Genomic mapping of the transcriptome reveals transcriptional forests, with overlapping transcription on both strands, separated by deserts in which few transcripts are observed. The data provide a comprehensive platform for the comparative analysis of mammalian transcriptional regulation in differentiation and development. PMID: [16141072]
3. The National Institutes of Health's Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) project was designed to generate and sequence a publicly accessible cDNA resource containing a complete open reading frame (ORF) for every human and mouse gene. The project initially used a random strategy to select clones from a large number of cDNA libraries from diverse tissues. Candidate clones were chosen based on 5'-EST sequences, and then fully sequenced to high accuracy and analyzed by algorithms developed for this project. Currently, more than 11,000 human and 10,000 mouse genes are represented in MGC by at least one clone with a full ORF. The random selection approach is now reaching a saturation point, and a transition to protocols targeted at the missing transcripts is now required to complete the mouse and human collections. Comparison of the sequence of the MGC clones to reference genome sequences reveals that most cDNA clones are of very high sequence quality, although it is likely that some cDNAs may carry missense variants as a consequence of experimental artifact, such as PCR, cloning, or reverse transcriptase errors. Recently, a rat cDNA component was added to the project, and ongoing frog (Xenopus) and zebrafish (Danio) cDNA projects were expanded to take advantage of the high-throughput MGC pipeline.
