Abstract:
GABP is a heteromeric transcription factor complex which consists of the ets related protein, GABPalpha, and the Notch-related protein, GABPbeta. We isolated a human genomic DNA fragment which is highly homologous and colinear with human GABPalpha cDNA, but which lacks introns. This processed pseudogene, psihGABPalpha, is expressed as RNA in U937 human myeloid cells, but a mutation at the site that corresponds to the ATG start methionine codon prevents its translation into protein. The pseudogene was localized to chromosome 7 using a somatic cell hybrid mapping panel and it is not syntenic with authentic GABPalpha, which was localized to chromosome 21. We have identified psihGABPalpha, a novel, GABPalpha-related processed pseudogene which is expressed as a RNA transcript in human myeloid cells.

Rab Proteins
Rab proteins switch between a cytosolic, GDP-bound inactive state and a membrane-anchored, GTP-bound active state. By themselves, Rabs show slow rates of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. Thus, Rab proteins are considered...
