Mouse liver protein database: a catalog of proteins detected by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
Alterations in the abundance or structure of mouse liver proteins are being studied using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) to build a database of protein changes correlating with exposure to ionizing radiation or toxic chemicals. Thus far, studies have included the analysis of proteins from the offspring of exposed parents or from the exposed individuals themselves. In order to characterize and identify proteins found altered by such exposures, sex- and strain-related differences in protein patterns have been analyzed, and the subcellular locations of a large portion of the mapped proteins have been determined. As part of these studies, data are collected and stored using a variety of computer hardware and software tools that allow the accumulation of information on the origin of samples, gel identification, experiment description, and protein similarities and differences. This accumulation of information constitutes the mouse liver protein database. Relational database software is used to tie the different facets of the database together so that the results of a variety of experiments can be compared and interrelated. The database optimizes the information obtained from 2-DE gel sets by allowing use of the data for many purposes, including monitoring of gel resolution to ensure the collection of high quality data and correlation of protein effects induced by different agents. This first edition of the Argonne National Laboratory mouse liver protein database lays the foundation for future work and communication that should elucidate the significance of observed protein effects as possible markers of exposure to toxic agents.
Cataloging of the genes expressed in human keratinocytes: analysis of 607 randomly isolated cDNA sequences.
The partial nucleotide sequences of 607 cDNAs randomly isolated from a cDNA library of cultured human epidermal keratinocytes were determined by single pass sequencing. Homology search of the sequences to the non-redundant nucleotide databases revealed that 27% of the cDNAs matched registered human-or non-human genes encoding not only keratinocyte specific genes, but also a variety of functional proteins, the expression of which had not been identified in keratinocytes. Non-matching cDNAs covering 49% of the cDNAs were not homologous even to ESTs from other organs, suggesting that these cDNAs include novel genes expressed in the cells. The large scale sequencing of keratinocyte cDNAs provides a useful molecular source for research into biology and diseases of the skin.
Qualitative and quantitative catalog of tyrosinase alternative transcripts in normal murine skin melanocytes as a basis for detecting melanoma-specific changes.
The decline in cell differentiation commonly associated with malignant progression may be due in part to an increase in alternative splicing of the pre-mRNAs of tissue-specific genes. As a necessary basis for investigating this possibility in a murine model of cutaneous melanoma, the complete qualitative and quantitative inventory of alternative transcripts was sought for the tyrosinase gene in normal mouse skin melanocytes, as this gene plays a key role in melanization. Of 111 alternative mRNAs predicted from known splice sites in the gene, 19 isoforms were detected, and their abundances determined, through a systematized protocol involving splice junction-specific probes, exon-specific restriction enzymes, and quantitative RT-PCR with an RNA internal standard. No unpredicted tyrosinase transcripts were discovered. Two of the transcripts, each involving an intra-exonic deletion and present at relatively low abundance in normal skin, were subsequently found to be consistently upregulated in melanomas.
Toward a whole cDNA catalog: construction of an equalized cDNA library from mouse embryos.
The construction of a cDNA library containing all genes without redundancy is one of the major technical challenges for biology. Toward this goal, we have developed an equalized (normalized) cDNA library from mRNA pools derived from mouse embryos that cover the entire period of mouse ontogenesis. Colony hybridization analyses with 11 genes showed the reduction of abundance variation from at least 6000-fold in the unequalized S-library to approximately 33-fold in the EIII-library, which was constructed after three cycles of equalization procedure. Limiting dilution PCR analyses with 26 tissue-specific genes showed the reduction of abundance variation from at least approximately 1,000,000-fold in the S-cDNA mixture to approximately 100-fold in the EIII-cDNA mixture. Based on these analyses, we estimate that at least 15,000 independent cDNA clones are included with little redundancy in the EIII-cDNA library. This will be a useful resource for mouse biology as well as the mouse genome project.

A first catalog of genes involved in pig ovarian follicular differentiation.
As a first step toward the characterization of genetic expression in pig ovaries, we have selected 238 clones by differential hybridization from a pig granulosa cell cDNA library, using probes prepared from RNA extracted from either untreated or FSH-treated cells and, in order to generate expressed sequence tags (ESTs), we have performed 3' and 5' single-pass sequencing of these clones. Sequences of the 3' end of the 167 clones that produced informative sequence data were first compared with each other, revealing a redundancy level of 21%. Sequences from the 136 unique clones were analyzed for similarities with sequence data included in Genbank and EMBL databases. Among these unique clones, 54 (40%) matched significantly with sequences from either Genbank of EMBL: 4 with known genes in pig, 35 matched with previously reported human genes, and 15 with other mammalian genes. Eighty-two clones (60%) showed no significant match with any gene or DNA sequence in the Genbank and EMBL databases and thus may represent new pig transcripts.
Cataloging transcription factor and major signaling molecule genes for functional genomic studies in Ciona intestinalis.
The ascidian Ciona intestinalis provides an excellent experimental system for functional genomic studies because (1) its genome has been sequenced, (2) the transcription factor genes and genes for major signal transduction molecules have been extensively screened and annotated on a genome-wide scale using the molecular phylogenetical method, and (3) their embryonic expression profiles have been almost completely determined. However, the entire genetic structure, including the 5' and 3' untranslated regions and the protein-coding regions, of most gene models used in these prior studies is not always supported by cDNA evidence, and thus, these gene models are potentially imprecise. To facilitate functional genomic studies based on precise gene structures, our present study determined 406 cDNA sequences for 357 transcription factor genes and 112 cDNA sequences for 107 signal transduction molecule genes, greatly improving the previous gene models and revealing transcript variants for 44 genes. Considering these data alongside those of previously characterized genes deposited in the DNA Data Bank of Japan/European Molecular Biology Laboratory/GENBANK databases, 95.6% of the catalogued transcription factor genes (373/390) and 98.3% of the catalogued signal transduction molecule genes (117/119) have now been verified by cDNA sequences. Thus, the present study greatly improves the resources available for functional genomic studies in C. intestinalis.
Catalog of 77 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the carbohydrate sulfotransferase 1 (CHST1) and carbohydrate sulfotransferase 3 (CHST3) genes.
Individual phenotypes with respect to drug response or toxicity often result from genetic variations that alter drug metabolism. We have been focusing on genomic loci that encode various enzymes and transporters involved in the metabolism of drugs, and have described more than 1200 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and other variations. Regarding the carbohydrate sulfotransferase (CHST) gene family, we have already constructed high-density SNP maps of three genomic segments that included CHST2, CHST4, and CHST5, providing a total of 28 SNPs for those loci. In the present study, we screened DNA from 48 healthy Japanese volunteers for SNPs at the CHST1 and CHST3 gene loci, by means of direct sequencing combined with a polymerase chain reaction method for amplifying genomic DNA, and characterized 77 SNPs and four insertion-deletion polymorphisms. The collection of human variations presented here adds to the archive of tools now available for investigating complex genetic diseases, population migration patterns, and a variety of pharmacogenetic possibilities.
Catalog of 680 variations among eight cytochrome p450 ( CYP) genes, nine esterase genes, and two other genes in the Japanese population.
We screened DNAs from 48 Japanese individuals for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight cytochrome p450 ( CYP) genes, nine esterase genes, and two other genes by directly sequencing the relevant genomic regions in their entirety except for repetitive elements. This approach identified 607 SNPs and 73 insertion/deletion polymorphisms among the 19 genes examined. Of the 607 SNPs, 284 were identified in CYP genes, 302 in esterase genes, and 21 in the other two genes ( GGT1, and TGM1); overall, 37 SNPs were located in 5' flanking regions, 496 in introns, 55 in exons, and 19 in 3' flanking regions. These variants should contribute to studies designed to investigate possible correlations between genotypes and phenotypes of disease susceptibility or responsiveness to drug therapy.
