To examine the molecular basis controlling neuronal differentiation, subtraction library construction and differential screening were used to identify cDNAs whose mRNA levels are regulated in mouse NS20Y cells by dibutyryl cyclic AMP treatment. One of them, N27K, whose mRNA increases transiently during both neuronal differentiation in NS20Y cells and development in mouse brain. The deduced amino acid sequence of N27K comprises 212 amino acid residues and is a novel form of a precursor protein for a new neuropeptide nociceptin/orphanin FQ, which we independently cloned as N23K. That is, the putative protein encoded by N27K is 25 amino acids longer than that encoded by N23K. Using an antibody against a C-terminal peptide of the N27K protein that recognizes a 27-kDa protein in Western blot analysis, a punctate structure in the perinuclear region and areas near the tip of neurites is visualized in neurally differentiating NS20Y cells. The time of maximal expression correlates with periods of neurite extension, and expression decreases as the neuritic network develops. Immunohistochemistry of tissue sections of the mouse central nervous system revealed that reactivity for the anti-N27K protein antibody can detected in early generated neurons at embryonic day 14, in virtually all immature neurons at postnatal day 1, and in subsets of neurons of discrete brain regions such as the hypothalamus and spinal cord in adults. This remarkable redistribution suggests that N27K may be involved in a process in neurite outgrowth and nervous system development.
