A gene encoding a low-molecular-weight GTP-binding protein was isolated from a retinal cDNA library and mapped to human chromosome 17q12-q21. Comparison of the predicted protein with the protein databases revealed striking homology to the family of ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs), which are thought to be involved in membrane trafficking and protein secretion. The greatest homology observed was with the rat ARF-like 4 protein (ARL4), with which it shared 58% identity, while the more highly conserved human ARF1 and ARF3 proteins each shared 46% identity. Inspection of the predicted new protein showed that it contained each of the six conserved motifs that are required for guanine nucleotide binding and hydrolysis, and thus it is probably a novel ARF isoform. We have designated the new protein and its corresponding gene ARF4L.
