Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAG) are structurally related to aspartic proteinases and belong to an extensive, rapidly evolving family of recently duplicated genes expressed in the placentas of artiodactyl species. The aim of the present study was to clone PAG from the goat, study their temporal and cell-specific expression, and determine their phylogenetic relationship to PAG from other species. RT-PCR was used to generate PAG cDNA from pooled placental RNA obtained between days 45 and 115 of pregnancy. A total of 11 cDNA, which differed by > 5% from each other, were selected for complete bidirectional sequencing from 60 clones analyzed. A group of nine (caPAG1, caPAG3-7(var), caPAG9-11), which displayed > 80% sequence identity with each other, were expressed after day 45 of pregnancy and were localized to trophoblast binucleate cells. These PAG demonstrated an unusually high ratio of nonsynonymous (amino acid changing) to synonymous nucleotide differences. CaPAG2, by contrast, was detectable only in early pregnancy (days 18 and 19) and expressed throughout trophectoderm. It was of more ancient origin than the PAG1 group, but more recent than caPAG8. The latter was expressed at all stages examined (days 18 to 115). The data confirm that many PAG genes, with different patterns of temporal and spatial expression, are transcribed in the placenta of the goat. The data also suggest that the recently duplicated PAG genes are being selected for rapid diversification of function.

D011257 Pregnancy Proteins Proteins produced by organs of the mother or the PLACENTA during PREGNANCY. These proteins may be pregnancy-specific (present only during pregnancy) or pregnancy-associated (present during pregnancy or under other conditions such as hormone therapy or certain malignancies.)

D000595 Amino Acid Sequence The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
