Human heart, lung and kidney express a 6 kb mRNA encoding Ror1, a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family with as yet unknown ligand specificity. We used a Ror1 cDNA probe to screen a cDNA library prepared from the human neuronogenic teratocarcinoma line, NTera2, and cloned a 2373 nucleotide transcript. This transcript contains an open reading frame that encodes a 388 amino acid protein identical with the cytosolic, C-terminal region of ror1 but lacking the ror1 transmembrane and entire extracellular domains. Northern blots demonstrate that mRNA encoding this truncated Ror1 ('t-Rorl') is abundantly expressed in fetal and adult human CNS, in human leukemia, lymphoma cell lines, and in a variety of human cancers derived from neuroectoderm. While previous studies have documented alternative splicing patterns within 5' and 3' regions of mRNAs encoding various RTKs altering their ligand binding specificity or their intracellular signaling, the present report is the first to demonstrate tissue-specific alternative mRNA splicing causing loss of the entire extracellular and transmembrane regions of an RTK.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5).

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.

D057050 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase-like Orphan Receptors A family of cell surface receptors that were originally identified by their structural homology to neurotropic TYROSINE KINASES and referred to as orphan receptors because the associated ligand and signaling pathways were unknown. Evidence for the functionality of these proteins has been established by experiments showing that disruption of the orphan receptor genes results in developmental defects.
