CLONING

Using a cDNA walking strategy, Kelter et al. (2000) cloned overlapping partial sequences of TFNR from fetal brain and spinal cord libraries. The deduced 2,254-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 250 kD. All cDNAs isolated from one fetal brain cDNA library lacked exon 15 resulting in a truncated protein of 796 amino acids. The TFNR protein is highly hydrophilic. It contains a 55-amino acid motif that is repeated as 6 highly conserved and 3 less well-conserved copies encoded by exon 17. It also contains a bipartite nuclear localization signal, a DNA-ligase A1 ATP-dependent (126391) binding site, and a second bipartite nuclear localization signal in the C terminus. Sequence comparison with the first 11 exons of mouse Tfnr, encoding 545 amino acids, indicated 77% identity to the human TFNR protein. A stretch of over 300 amino acids of human TFNR showed 29% identity with the yeast TFC5 protein, a component of the TFIIIB transcription initiation complex. Northern blot analysis detected weak expression of 9.5-, 3.1-, and 1.6-kb transcripts in all tissues examined, and a 1.9-kb transcript expressed only in brain. Analysis of mRNAs from several brain areas showed a strong signal at 9.5 and 1.9 kb in cerebellum, and a weak signal in all other brain areas. Western blot analysis of fetal and adult human tissues showed 5 bands ranging from 55 to 250 kD. Immunofluorescent localization of TFNR in HeLa cells revealed a punctate nuclear staining pattern. Schramm et al. (2000) also cloned BDP1, which they called hB-double prime, and found that the protein has several potential phosphorylation sites. Schramm et al. (2000) isolated 2 variants, one of which is likely to be a splice variant. The other variant contains an insertion that results in the replacement of the last 21 amino acids with 5 different amino acids. Western blot analysis of HeLa cells showed BDP1 bands at about 160 and 250 kD.

GENE STRUCTURE

Kelter et al. (2000) determined that the TFNR gene contains 32 exons and spans about 80 kb.

GENE FUNCTION

With use of anti-BDP1 antibodies in in vitro transcription reactions, Schramm et al. (2000) determined that BPD1 is required for transcription from the Ad2 VAI and human U6 (180692) RNA polymerase III promoters. By chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, they also found that BDP1 binds the U6 promoter region in vivo, further suggesting that BDP1 is part of the U6 initiation complex.

MAPPING

By FISH, Kelter et al. (2000) mapped the TFNR gene to chromosome 5q13. Further analysis of this region indicated that TFNR lies just outside the repeated SMA1 (253300) region. Sequencing of a mouse BAC clone revealed a head-to-head orientation between the Tfnr and Serf1 (603011) genes. ... More on the omim web site
