The human FLT3 cDNA was cloned from a pre-B cell line and characterized. The deduced amino acid sequence shows that FLT3 codes for a receptor-type tyrosine kinase of 993 residues, presenting a strong similarity with the corresponding mouse FLT3/FLK2 protein as well as with the receptors for colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1R/FMS) and steel locus factor (SLFR/KIT). An analysis of the expression of the gene using amplification of reverse transcribed FLT3 mRNA by polymerase chain reaction shows that FLT3 is expressed in various lymphohematopoietic cells and tissues, including a series of immature cell lines and leukemias of lymphocytic origin.

An S-allele cDNA was cloned from pistils of 'McIntosh' apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). The allele, designated Si in Japan and S10 in Europe, is an S-RNase that is very similar (94%) to the S3-RNase at the deduced amino acid sequence level. This allele can be detected by amplification using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and specific primers, followed by digestion with restriction enzyme EheI. The S10 allele was discovered in 'Empire', 'Maypole', 'Shinano Red', 'Spencer', and 'Vista Bella'. The S-allele cDNAs sequenced to date are listed with their Japanese and European designations.

Ovine oestrus-associated oviducal glycoprotein (oEGP) is synthesized and secreted specifically by the ampullary region of the ovine oviduct during the peri-ovulatory stages of the oestrous cycle. A cDNA that encodes oEGP was isolated and sequenced. Isolation of oEGP was achieved using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers based on a bovine oestrus-associated oviducal glycoprotein cDNA (bOGP) sequence. A 1599-bp cDNA encodes, in part, a deduced 519-amino acid sequence of mature protein which carries two potential N-linked glycosylation sites. The deduced amino acid sequence is more than 95% identical to that of bOGP and more than 74% identical to the first 491 amino acids of human oestrogen-dependent oviducal glycoprotein (hOGP). Northern blot hybridizations of RNA from several sheep tissues detected mRNA (2.4 kb) only in an ampulla oviduct sample.

Abstract Mutations in codons 12 or 13 of the first exon of the N-RAS gene have been reported in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) in frequencies that vary between 9% and 40% depending on the techniques used in analysis. Gene amplification and direct sequencing provides the only unambiguous method of detecting those mutations that induce amino acid alterations. Using this technique, we analyzed 21 MDS patients for mutations in exon- 1 of N-RAS. Codon 12 mutations substituting aspartic acid (GAT) for glycine (GGT) were found in four cases, and a codon 13 mutation substituting alanine (GCT) for glycine (GGT) was detected in one patient. We conclude that N-RAS exon-1 mutations in one patient. We conclude that N-RAS exon-1 mutations producing amino acid changes occur in about 20% to 25% of MDS cases.

S-allele genotypes of nine apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.) cultivars were identified using S-allele–specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–restriction fragmentlength polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. A new S-allele, Sg, was proposed to be present in `American Summer Pearmain', `Indo', `Kitanosachi', and `Meku 10'. This allele is very similar to Sf at the nucleotide sequence (92%) and deduced amino acid sequence (94%) levels.
