Abstract
During the large-scale sequencing analysis of a human fetal brain cDNA library, we isolated two cDNA clones encoding two novel proteins, which show 52% and 72% identity to the cyclophilin isoform 10 of C. elegans, respectively. Sequence analysis revealed these two cDNA clones are two different splicing variants of a novel cyclophilin-like gene (PPIL3). The PPIL3 gene was identified on a completely sequenced BAC (GenBank accession AC005037) from chromosome 2q33 between STS markers stSG2762 (proximal) and SHGC-3074 (distal), oriented toward the telomere. The PPIL3 gene consisted of eight exons spanning more than 18 kb of genomic DNA. RT-PCR analysis indicated that PPIL3 was ubiquitously expressed in adult human tissues.
