RESUMEN
【Objective】 To analyze the polymorphisms of GYPA and GYPB mRNA spliceosomes associated with MNS blood group, and to explore the mechanism of subcellular localization of GPA and GPB protein isomerism encoded by various spliceosomes as well as the expression of MNS blood group antigen. 【Methods】 Ten blood samples of voluntary blood donors were randomly selected. The total mRNA of peripheral blood was extracted and reversed into cDNA. Nested PCR was used to amplify reading open frame of GYPA and GYPB gene, and sequencing was performed by Sanger. The base sequence obtained was compared with GYPA(NCBI: NM_002099) and GYPB(NCBI: Nm_002100.5). After the wild type and various splicing isomer of the open reading frame of GYPA and GYPB had been obtained, they were fused with the encoding gene of green fluorescent protein (GFP) by fusion PCR technology, then cloned and transfected into HEK293 cells for over expression. The subcellular localization of GPA-GFP and GPB-GFP fused fluorescent proteins was monitored by focusing laser scanning microscope. 【Results】 Exon-1 and Exon-2 were missing in GYPA mRNA of the 2 samples, and 2~26 amino acids were missing in the predicted GPA isomer, and the full length sequence of GYPB mRNA was complete. GYPA mRNA was intact in 6 samples, exon-2 was missing in GYPB mRNA, 13~45 amino acids were missing in the predicted GPB protein isomer, and other exon sequences were intact. One sample had intact GYPA mRNA, and 364~385 bases in exon-5 of GYPB mRNA were replaced by AG, indicating truncation of amino acid signal peptide. The GYP mRNA sequences of other samples were complete. The fluorescence signal of GP-GFP fusion protein showed that all GPA and GPB glycoprotein isomers, cloned according to various RNA splicing, could demonstrate the orientation distribution on the cell membrane surface, while some alternative splicing leaded to different degrees of protein dispersion in the cell, and affected the distribution speed and proportion of protein on the cell surface, which might be one of the reasons for the strength variation of MNS antigen. 【Conclusion】 The GYP mRNA spliceosome is obviously polymorphic, but the partial deletion of GYP mRNA fragment does not affect the localization and distribution of the protein isomers encoded by GYP mRNA on the cell surface, which can ensure the expression of MNS antigen characteristics.
