We cloned the genomic genes encoding the murine 16 kDa subunit (proteolipid, PL16) of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) and determined their nucleotide sequences. At least three independent genes were found in the murine genome. One gene consisted of three exons and was largely identical in sequence to that of PL16 cDNA reported previously (Hanada et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 176 (1991) 1062). In the 5'-flanking region of this gene, several possible transcriptional cis-elements were found. TATA and CAAT sequences were not found, which is characteristic for promoters of house-keeping genes. The other two genes identified did not contain introns. One of these genes had an open reading frame that potentially encoded PL16 but contained six amino acid substitutions and a frame-shift mutation that would result in a truncated protein unable to participate in V-ATPase activity. The other gene had the same sequence in the reading frame as that in the cDNA. However, this gene contained a polyA sequence at the same position where polyA is normally added to mRNA. The gene also had 15 bp repetitive sequences near the transcription initiation site and next to the polyA sequence. These observations suggest that this gene may have been generated by the insertion of reverse-transcribed double-stranded cDNA, as is usually observed for pseudogenes. In conclusion, there is a single functional PL16 gene and two pseudogenes in the murine genome. It is unlikely that PL16 isoforms contribute to variation in V-ATPase function.

D011510 Proteolipids Protein-lipid combinations abundant in brain tissue, but also present in a wide variety of animal and plant tissues. In contrast to lipoproteins, they are insoluble in water, but soluble in a chloroform-methanol mixture. The protein moiety has a high content of hydrophobic amino acids. The associated lipids consist of a mixture of GLYCEROPHOSPHATES; CEREBROSIDES; and SULFOGLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS; while lipoproteins contain PHOSPHOLIPIDS; CHOLESTEROL; and TRIGLYCERIDES.
D011544 Pseudogenes Genes bearing close resemblance to known genes at different loci, but rendered non-functional by additions or deletions in structure that prevent normal transcription or translation. When lacking introns and containing a poly-A segment near the downstream end (as a result of reverse copying from processed nuclear RNA into double-stranded DNA), they are called processed genes.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
