Fibroblast growth factor, acidic, intracellular binding protein; fibp

CLONING

Using the yeast 2-hybrid system, Kolpakova et al. (1998) identified a HeLa cell cDNA, which the authors termed FIBP, that interacts with acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF1; 131220). The FIBP cDNA encodes a deduced 372-amino acid protein with a predicted molecular mass of 42 kD. The protein is mainly hydrophilic and has no N-terminal signal sequence. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that FIBP and FGF1 have similar expression patterns. FIBP is expressed ubiquitously as an approximately 1.4-kb transcript at highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle, and pancreas, and at somewhat lower levels in brain. In vitro experiments showed that FIBP readily attaches to microsomal membranes and is capable of binding FGF1 with high affinity. Immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that FIBP is mainly localized in the nucleus and to a lesser extent in mitochondria and other cytoplasmic membranes. Western blot analysis indicated the presence of 2 forms of FIBP. By RT-PCR analysis, Kolpakova et al. (2000) identified a second FIBP transcript caused by alternative splicing of exon 5 and resulting in a protein with an additional 7 residues. They cloned and characterized the mouse Fibp gene and, by database searching, identified a Drosophila homolog. Human FIBP shares 97% and 46% sequence identity with the mouse and Drosophila homologs, respectively.

GENE STRUCTURE

Kolpakova et al. (2000) determined that the FIBP gene contains 10 exons and spans more than 5 kb. Sequence analysis of the region surrounding the translation start revealed a CpG island. Functional studies of the promoter region suggested strong transcriptional activity.

MAPPING

By FISH, Kolpakova et al. (2000) mapped the FIBP gene to chromosome 11q13.1. ... More on the omim web site
