1. In a previous study we reported that ribosomal protein S5 gene is suppressed in differentiating and not in proliferating or apoptotic murine erythroleukaemia (MEL) cells (Vizirianakis et al., 1999). We wish to report here the isolation, characterisation and expression of the full length cDNA for another ribosomal protein, the L35a (rpL35a), in MEL cells. This cDNA shares significant structural homology in both DNA and protein levels to genes encoding the rat and human L35a ribosomal proteins. Northern blot hybridisation analysis has shown that the steady-state level of rpL35a mRNA is progressively reduced during differentiation of MEL cells along the erythrocytic maturation pathway induced by DMSO or UDP-4, two structurally unrelated inducers of differentiation. However, in cells where differentiation was inhibited by N(6)-methyladenosine, the level of rpL35a RNA transcripts was not affected. In addition, rpL35a gene expression was not altered in apoptotic MEL cells. Furthermore, the suppression of L35a gene was not correlated to any change in DNA methylation at CCGG sites located at the rpL35a gene locus in undifferentiated and differentiated MEL cells, as we observed for the rpS5 gene. Overall, these data suggest that the expression of ribosomal genes, the L35a of 60S ribosomal subunit and the S5 of 40S ribosomal subunit, are regulated by a common mechanism in differentiating MEL cells, leading to the observed decrease in ribosomal function.

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]
Required for the proliferation and viability ofhematopoietic cells (By similarity). Plays a role in 60S ribosomalsubunit formation (By similarity). The protein was found to bindto both initiator and elongator tRNAs and consequently wasassigned to the P site or P and A site (By similarity).
