Product Information Product information PLDN, 1-172aa Human, His-tagged, Recombinant, E.coli Cat. No. IBATGP1472 Full name: pallidin NCBI Accession No.: NP_036520 Synonyms: HPS9, PA, PALLID Description: PLDN (Pallidin) may play a role in intracellular vesicle trafficking. It interacts with Syntaxin 13 which mediates intracellular membrane fusion. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. This protein involved in the development of lysosome-related organelles, such as melanosomes and platelet-dense granules. PLDN has been shown to interact with BLOC1S1, STX12, Dysbindin, CNO, BLOC1S2, MUTED and SNAPAP. Recombinant human PLDN protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Form: Liquid.

  • Mouse Germ Line Mutations Due to Retrotransposon Insertions Liane Gagnier1, Victoria P
    Gagnier et al. Mobile DNA (2019) 10:15 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13100-019-0157-4 REVIEW Open Access Mouse germ line mutations due to retrotransposon insertions Liane Gagnier1, Victoria P. Belancio2 and Dixie L. Mager1* Abstract Transposable element (TE) insertions are responsible for a significant fraction of spontaneous germ line mutations reported in inbred mouse strains. This major contribution of TEs to the mutational landscape in mouse contrasts with the situation in human, where their relative contribution as germ line insertional mutagens is much lower. In this focussed review, we provide comprehensive lists of TE-induced mouse mutations, discuss the different TE types involved in these insertional mutations and elaborate on particularly interesting cases. We also discuss differences and similarities between the mutational role of TEs in mice and humans. Keywords: Endogenous retroviruses, Long terminal repeats, Long interspersed elements, Short interspersed elements, Germ line mutation, Inbred mice, Insertional mutagenesis, Transcriptional interference Background promoter and polyadenylation motifs and often a splice The mouse and human genomes harbor similar types of donor site [10, 11].

April 1988 NTIS order #PB88-212402 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Mapping Our Genes-The Genmne Projects.’ How Big, How Fast? OTA-BA-373 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, April 1988). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 87-619898 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword For the past 2 years, scientific and technical journals in biology and medicine have extensively covered a debate about whether and how to determine the function and order of human genes on human chromosomes and when to determine the sequence of molecular building blocks that comprise DNA in those chromosomes. In 1987, these issues rose to become part of the public agenda. The debate involves science, technol- ogy, and politics. Congress is responsible for ‘(writing the rules” of what various Federal agencies do and for funding their work. This report surveys the points made so far in the debate, focusing on those that most directly influence the policy options facing the U.S. Congress, The House Committee on Energy and Commerce requested that OTA undertake the project. The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, the Senate Com- mittee on Labor and Human Resources, and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natu- ral Resources also asked OTA to address specific points of concern to them. Congres- sional interest focused on several issues: ● how to assess the rationales for conducting human genome projects, ● how to fund human genome projects (at what level and through which mech- anisms), ● how to coordinate the scientific and technical programs of the several Federal agencies and private interests already supporting various genome projects, and ● how to strike a balance regarding the impact of genome projects on international scientific cooperation and international economic competition in biotechnology.

  • A Gene for Freckles Maps to Chromosome 4Q32–Q34
    A Gene for Freckles Maps to Chromosome 4q32–q34 Xue-Jun Zhang,Ãz1 Ping-Ping He,Ãwz Yan-Hua Liang,Ãwz Sen Yang,Ãz Wen-Tao Yuan,w Shi-Jie Xu,w and Wei Huangw1 ÃInstitute of Dermatology & Department of Dermatology at No.1 Hospital, Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China, wChinese National Human Genome Center at Shanghai, Shanghai, China, zKey Laboratory of Genome Research at Anhui, Hefei, China Freckles are numerous pigmented macules on the face commonly occurring in the Caucasian and Chinese population. As freckling is considered as an independent trait, no gene or locus for it has been identified to date. Here we performed genome-wide scan for linkage analysis in a multigeneration Chinese family with freckles. A maximum LOD score of 4.26 at a recombination fraction of 0 has been obtained with marker D4S1566. Haplotype analysis localized the freckles locus to a 16 Mbp region flanked by D4S2952 and D4S1607. We have thus mapped the gene for freckles to chromosome 4q32–q34. This will aid future identification of the responsible gene, which will be very useful for the understanding of the molecular mechanism of freckles. Key words: freckles/gene mapping/genome-wide scan/linkage analysis.

  • Development of the Swimbladder Surfactant System and Biogenesis of Lysosome-Related Organelles Is Regulated by BLOS1 in Zebrafish
    | INVESTIGATION Development of the Swimbladder Surfactant System and Biogenesis of Lysosome-Related Organelles Is Regulated by BLOS1 in Zebrafish Tianbing Chen,*,† Guili Song,* Huihui Yang,*,† Lin Mao,*,† Zongbin Cui,*,1 and Kaiyao Huang*,1 *Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430072, China and †University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China ABSTRACT Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a human autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by oculocutaneous albinism and a deficiency of the platelet storage pool resulting from defective biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles (LROs). To date, 10 HPS genes have been identified, three of which belong to the octamer complex BLOC-1 (biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1). One subunit of the BLOC-1 complex, BLOS1, also participates in the BLOC-1-related complex (BORC). Due to lethality at the early embryo stage in BLOS1 knockout mice, the function of BLOS1 in the above two complexes and whether it has a novel function are unclear. Here, we generated three zebrafish mutant lines with a BLOC-1 deficiency, in which melanin and silver pigment formation was attenuated as a result of mutation of bloc1s1, bloc1s2, and dtnbp1a, suggesting that they function in the same complex. In addition, mutations of bloc1s1 and bloc1s2 caused an accumulation of clusters of lysosomal vesicles at the posterior part of the tectum, representing a BORC-specific function in zebrafish. Moreover, bloc1s1 is highly expressed in the swimbladder during postembryonic stages and is required for positively regulating the expression of the genes, which is known to govern surfactant production and lung development in mammals.
