Beta-catenin, IkappaBalpha, and HIV Vpu are recruited to the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation pathway by betaTRCP, one of the components of the ubiquitin ligase complex. betaTRCP2, a related gene of betaTRCP, was cloned and characterized. Three isoforms, betaTRCP2A, betaTRCP2B, and betaTRCP2C, were identified. All of these betaTRCP2 isoforms consist of an F-box and seven WD repeats. Human betaTRCP2A shows 86% total amino acid identity with human betaTRCP. betaTRCP2 mRNA of 4.5 kb in size was detected almost ubiquitously. Sequence analyses on betaTRCP2 genomic clones revealed that the betaTRCP2 gene consists of at least 14 exons. Exons 1 and 4-14 are shared among all betaTRCP2 isoforms. betaTRCP2A of 508 amino acids lacks exons 2 and 3, betaTRCP2B of 529 amino acids contains exon 3, and betaTRCP2C of 542 amino acids contains exon 2. These results indicate that three betaTRCP2 isoforms are transcribed due to alternative splicing. The betaTRCP2 gene has been mapped to human chromosome 5q35.1 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
