The murine mutation dominant white spotting (W) is in the proto-oncogene, c-kit. The receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by this gene has pleiotropic effects on murine development including hemopoietic cells, pigment cells, and germ cells. In this study, mutation in W homozygous mouse was identified as a single base substitution (GT----AT) at the 5'-splice donor site of the exon which encodes the transmembrane domain. Two types of aberrant exon skipping resulted from this mutation, occurred in a tissue specific manner. Either transcript lost the exon coding for transmembrane region and therefore the product might not be functional for signal transduction. Any unusual cryptic splice sites were not activated by this mutation as beta-globin gene in beta-thalassaemia. In addition, twelve base pair sequence of the 3'-end of the exon prior to the exon coding for transmembrane domain was found to be alternatively spliced. These findings should provide the genetic base for not only the receptor function but the splicing mechanism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils

D011518 Proto-Oncogene Proteins Products of proto-oncogenes. Normally they do not have oncogenic or transforming properties, but are involved in the regulation or differentiation of cell growth. They often have protein kinase activity.

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).
