To investigate the mechanism of intracellular signal transduction mediated by activin receptors, the full-length gene encoding a novel activin receptor-interacting protein2a (ARIP2a) was identified from a mouse brain cDNA library. The sequences of ARIP2a and ARIP2, distribution of ARIP2a and ARIP2 mRNA in mouse tissues, and expression of ARIP2a and ARIP2 in activin-induced RAW264.7 cell were compared, and the interaction between ARIP2a and ActRIIA was confirmed. The sequence analysis revealed that the full-length gene of ARIP2a, which composed of 1008 bp and encoded 153 amino acid residues, shared high sequence identity with ARIP2 except the position of the 99th amino acid. RT-PCR assay showed that ARIP2a mRNA was highly expressed in brain, pituitary and testis, and moderately in pancreas and ovary, but undetectable in other tissues. Whereas, ARIP2 mRNA was widely distributed in all mouse tissues that we tested. Moreover, expression of ARIP2a mRNA was significantly decreased in activin-stimulated RAW264.7 cells; however, the expression of ARIP2 mRNA was increased. Additionally, the interaction between ARIP2a and activin type IIA receptor (ActRIIA) was further demonstrated by mammalian two-hybrid assays and pull-down assays. Taken together, those results indicate that although ARIP2a is homologous to ARIP2, they are different in tissue distribution and responses to activin. ARIP2a could also interact with activin type II receptor as a novel member of ARIP family. 相似文献

Animal caps fromXenopus embryos at Stage 7/8 cultured in salt solution, were capable of elongating, and formed various embryonic tissues including axial mesoderm, nervous tissues and pigmented retina. In contrast, animal caps from Stage 9 only developed into permanent blastulae. Following exposure to PIF/activin, however, such animal caps displayed morphogenetic movements. They formed tube-shaped embryoids that frequently had one or more tails but no head. We conclude that animal caps from Stage 9 produce more reliable results than those from Stage 7/8 because the latter are most likely contaminated with mesodermal cells. 相似文献

Regulation of activin A in cell proliferation as well as hCG and progesterone secretion was investigated using primary cultured cytotrophoblast cells and normal placenta origin cytotrophoblast cell line-NPC cells in serum-free system. It was shown that activin A promoted hCG and progesterone secretion in primary cultured cytotrophoblast cells as well as progesterone secretion in NPC cells, while it had no effect on cell proliferation and hCG secretion in NPC cells. Important evidence is provided for the autocrine regulatory mechanism of activin A on hormone secretion in placental trophoblast cells at early pregnancy. 相似文献
