Apoptosis regulatory gene NEDD2 maps to human chromosome segment 7q34-35, a region frequently affected in haematological neoplasms.

Developmentally regulated mouse gene Nedd2 encodes a protein similar to the product of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans cell death gene ced-3 and the mammalian interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme. Overexpression of Nedd2 in cultured mammalian cells induces apoptosis that can be blocked by proto-oncogene BCL2. We have isolated cDNA clones for the human homologue of the mouse gene and, by using these as probes, mapped the human NEDD2 gene to 7q34-35 by fluorescence in situ hybridisation. The potential tumour suppressor function of NEDD2 is discussed.[1]
