Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved DNA...

Sanger Sequencing

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...
The DNA Helix01:07

The DNA Helix

Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the genetic material responsible for passing traits from generation to generation in all organisms and most viruses. DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides that wind around each other to form a spring-like structure called a double helix. However, the double helix is not perfectly symmetrical. Instead, there are regularly occurring grooves in the structure. The major groove occurs where the sugar-phosphate backbones are relatively far apart. This space...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • ST2 is a gene induced by growth factors, primarily observed in growth-stimulated mouse cells.
  • Human ST2 cDNA shares significant sequence similarity with its murine counterpart.
  • ST2 is structurally related to the extracellular domains of Interleukin-1 Receptors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To isolate and characterize human ST2 cDNA from activated human helper T cells.
  • To investigate the sequence homology between human and murine ST2.
  • To explore the potential physiological role of ST2 in human lymphocytes.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation of human ST2 cDNA from a T cell line library.
  • Sequence analysis to determine homology with murine ST2.
  • Comparison of human ST2 protein sequence with Interleukin-1 Receptors.

Main Results:

  • Human ST2 cDNA was successfully isolated from an activated human helper T cell line.
  • Human ST2 exhibits 67.6% amino acid identity to murine ST2 over a 327 amino acid overlap.
  • The encoded protein shows remarkable sequence similarity to the extracellular portions of human Interleukin-1 Receptors (types 1 and 2).

Conclusions:

  • The identification of human ST2 provides a basis for further research into its function.
  • The structural similarity to IL-1 receptors suggests a potential role in cytokine signaling pathways.
  • Investigating ST2 expression in human lymphocytes is crucial for understanding its physiological significance.
