Cloning, chromosome mapping and functional characterization of a human homologue of murine gtse-1 (B99) gene.

Murine Gtse-1 (G(2) and S phase expressed protein), previously named B99, is a wt-p53 inducible gene that encodes a microtubule-localized protein which is able to induce G(2)/M phase accumulation when ectopically expressed. Here we report the cloning and characterization of a new cDNA (GTSE-1) encoding a human homologue of the mouse Gtse-1 protein. Chromosome mapping of mouse and human genes assigned Gtse-1 to chromosome 15 and GTSE-1 to chromosome 22q13.2-q13.3 in a region with conserved synteny to that where Gtse-1 mapped. Analysis of the genomic structure revealed that GTSE-1 contains at least 11 exons and 10 introns, spanning approximately 33kb of genomic DNA. Similar to murine Gtse-1, the product of GTSE-1 localized to the microtubules, was able to delay G(2)/M progression when ectopically expressed and was cell cycle regulated. Taken together, these results indicate GTSE-1 as the human functional homologue of murine Gtse-1.[1]
