pubmed:abstractText
We isolated two novel mammalian kinase genes by weak cross-hybridization with v-ros oncogene. (1) A cDNA of about 7.7 kb obtained from a human placenta cDNA library carried a 4.2 kb open reading frame, and the predicted amino acid sequence of 1338 residues contained extracellular, transmembrane and tyrosine kinase domains. The overall structure including cysteine motifs in its extracellular domain and a long peptide insertion in its tyrosine kinase domain indicates that this new gene is closely related to the fms family. Consequently, the gene was designated as flt(fms-like tyrosine kinase) gene. The expression of the flt gene was examined in normal and transformed cells, and it was mapped to human chromosome 13q12-13. (2) Another new gene was found to be expressed almost exclusively in testis. The cDNA sequence analysis revealed that the predicted product carried protein kinase consensus motifs in its amino-terminal region. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of this gene in the kinase domain with those of other protein kinase genes will be discussed.
