DNase X is the first human DNase protein identified as being homologous with DNase I. In the present study we describe the isolation of several mammalian DNase X cDNAs and the molecular characterization of their coding proteins. A sequence comparison reveals some conserved characteristics: all the mammalian DNase X proteins have an N-terminal signal peptide, a potential N-linked glycosylation site and a C-terminal hydrophobic domain. Human DNase X, ectopically expressed in HeLa S3 cells, is located in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) and is modified by an N-linked glycosylation at Asn-243. Gene expression analyses show that the high expression level in muscular tissues, a known feature of human DNASE X, is also observed in mouse DNase X. Interestingly, the translation of porcine and bovine DNase X proteins occurs in the absence of an in-frame AUG initiation codon. We show that their mRNAs utilize a conserved CUG triplet for translation initiation.
