Ribosomal protein l12; rpl12

CLONING

Biogenesis of the mammalian ribosome, the site of protein synthesis, involves coordinated expression of 4 ribosomal RNA molecules and approximately 75 ribosomal proteins. Chu et al. (1993) isolated a cDNA clone encoding human ribosomal protein L12 from a dermal microvascular endothelial cell cDNA library. The protein contains 165 amino acids and exhibits 99.4% sequence identity with rat ribosomal protein L12. Northern blot analysis detected an mRNA transcript of 800 bases. Cuccurese et al. (2005) identified an RPL12 splice variant in a human lung carcinoma cell line that was induced following inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The variant retains part of intron 1, resulting in a premature termination codon. Northern blot analysis showed that the variant is 0.8 kb, while the major species is 0.63 kb. Intron 1 is highly conserved in human, mouse, and bovine RPL12 genes.

MAPPING

Hartz (2007) mapped the RPL12 gene to chromosome 9q33.3 based on an alignment of the RPL12 sequence (GenBank GENBANK AB209471) with the genomic sequence (build 36.1). ... More on the omim web site
