High impact information on Psme2

  • It is shown here that mice with a disrupted PA28b gene lack PA28a and PA28b polypeptides, demonstrating that PA28 functions as a hetero-oligomer in vivo [1].
  • By fluorescence in situ hybridization, the location of the two PA28b genes was determined on chromosomes 11 and 14 [2].
  • Interspecific backcross mapping showed that the mouse genes coding for the alpha- and beta-subunits (designated Psme1 and Psme2, respectively) are tightly linked and map close to the Atp5g1 locus on chromosome 14 [3].
  • Southern blot analysis suggests that both PA28a and PA28b are multiple-copy genes, while Ki is a single-copy gene [4].
