The human Thy-1 gene: structure and chromosomal location.

T Seki, N Spurr, F Obata

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
    |October 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers isolated and sequenced the human Thy-1 gene, finding it structurally similar to rodent versions but with fewer glycosylation sites. This study also mapped the human Thy-1 gene to chromosome 11.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • The Thy-1 gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell recognition and signaling.
    • Understanding the genetic structure and chromosomal location of Thy-1 is crucial for its role in cellular processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To isolate and sequence the human Thy-1 gene.
    • To compare its structure with rodent homologs.
    • To determine the chromosomal localization of the human Thy-1 gene.

    Main Methods:

    • Gene isolation and sequencing.
    • Comparative analysis of gene structures.
    • RNA blot analysis.
    • Nucleic acid hybridization to somatic cell hybrids.

    Main Results:

    • The human Thy-1 gene shares a similar exon-intron organization with rat and mouse Thy-1 genes.
    • Human Thy-1 glycoproteins have two glycosylation sites, unlike rodent versions with three.
    • Thy-1 mRNA was absent in a human T-cell line expressing the T3 complex.
    • The human Thy-1 gene was localized to the long arm of chromosome 11.

    Conclusions:

    • The human Thy-1 gene exhibits conserved structural organization with rodent homologs, with key differences in glycosylation.
    • Thy-1 is not a component of the human T3 complex.
    • The human Thy-1 gene is located on chromosome 11q.
