Ribosomal protein l27; rpl27

CLONING

By differential screening of fetal and adult kidney mRNA, Gallagher et al. (1994) cloned RPL27 as 1 of several transcripts showing high expression during fetal development. The deduced 135-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of about 18 kD. RPL27 shares 100% amino acid identity with rat and chicken Rpl27, although there are several silent base pair changes at the DNA level. Northern blot analysis revealed expression of a 1.0-kb transcript or 2 transcripts of 1.0 and 1.25 kb in fetal kidney. The 1.0-kb transcript was present at lower levels in adult kidney. RPL27 expression was also detected in several other fetal tissues, including muscle, liver, lung, heart, and brain. The 1.0-kb transcript was present in adult muscle at lower levels than in fetal muscle. Gallagher et al. (1994) determined that RPL27 was downregulated 20-fold in adult kidney compared with fetal kidney.

GENE FUNCTION

Using RT-PCR, Sim et al. (2010) found that a subset of genes encoding proteins of the large ribosomal subunit was differentially expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (see 607107) cell lines compared with a normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line. RPL27 was 1 of 3 genes significantly downregulated in the carcinoma cell lines.

MAPPING

By Southern blot analysis, Gallagher et al. (1994) determined that there are multiple RPL27 copies in the genome. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the RPL27 gene to chromosome 17 (TMAP RH26918). ... More on the omim web site
