Fecha de publicación: | 6-nov-2001 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Gene 279(2): 157-164 (2001) | Resumen: | Molecular studies on the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have revealed that mutations in presenilin genes (PS) account for some familial cases. Although the contribution of these genes to the etiology is clear, their biological function remains obscure. Approaches using model organisms have been hampered by the fact that rodents contain two PS copies in the genome and do not develop the hallmark features associated with AD upon aging. To understand PS function and evolution, we have searched for PS homologous sequences in the genome of a lower chordate, Branchiostoma floridae. We report the structure of a single copy Branchiostoma floridae PS gene, named BfPS, and describe new features at the molecular level. Moreover, molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests that BfPS is orthologous to the vertebrate PS-1 and PS-2 forms. Finally, the analysis of more than 16 kb of genomic DNA encompassing BfPS identified three novel genes, which cluster with BfPS in a high gene-density region. | Descripción: | 8 páginas, 5 figuras. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0378-1119(01)00751-X | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/39367 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0378-1119(01)00751-X | ISSN: | 0378-1119 |
