抄録

Raelα, Raelβ, and Raelγ cDNAs isolated from retinoic acid-treated mouse embryonal carcinoma F9 cells encode cell surface proteins sharing partial homology with MHC class I molecules, and mRNAs corresponding to these cDNAs were detected exclusively in early mouse embryos, especially in the head region. To initiate studies on their roles, the rae1α gene and the genomic DNAs covering the complete coding regions of the rae1β and rae1γ genes were isolated and their structures were analyzed. Although the coding regions of the three rae1 genes were highly homologous, the restriction map of the 5'-end region of the rae1α gene differed from that of the rae1β and rae1γ genes. The rae1 family members were mapped by FISH on mouse chromosome 10A4 region. Genomic DNAs hybridizable with a Rae1 cDNA were not detected in rat and human. Rae1 genes were preferentially expressed in early mouse embryos, preferentially in the brain, and RAE1 proteins were anchored on the cell surface by a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-tail, a feature shared by important cell surface ligands.
