Abstract

In course of the molecular characterization of a human extragonadal germ cell tumor (EGCT)-associated chromosomal translocation, we identified YACs and cosmids from the 11q13 region. The endclone of one of these YACs appeared to contain a stretch of DNA homologous to part of the human phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C β3 gene (PLCB3). Since we considered PLCB3 a candidate gene for these EGCTs, we set out to clone the PLCB3 cDNA, from which the 5′ end was still missing, and performed Northern and Southern blot analyses. The localization of PLCB3 to 11q13 was confirmed. In addition, we were able to exclude the gene from involvement in EGCT development.

    Construction of recombinant baculoviruses for expression of the bovine PLCβ1 and human PLCβ2 have been described (26, 20). The cDNA of human PLCβ3 (27) was cloned into the EcoRI site of the baculovirus transfer vector pVL1393 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). The cDNAs of C-terminally deleted PLCβ constructs were generated such that the proteins retained their C-terminal-most portions (GENPGKEFDTPL, PLCβ1; QDPLIAKADAQESRL, PLCβ2; and GADSESQEENTQL, PLCβ3), which had been used as synthetic peptides to generate PLCβ subtype-specific antisera in rabbits (28).

    PLCβ2Δ, a deletion mutant of human PLCβ2 lacking a C-terminal region necessary for stimulation by Gαq, is indistinguishable from wild-type PLCβ2 in terms of its interaction with PI-4,5-P2, Ca2+, and Gβγ dimers (22). The cDNA of human PLCβ3 cloned into theEcoRI site of a pBluescript vector was kindly provided by M. van Asseldonk (Department of Human Genetics, University Hospital Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) (25). The construct was digested with EcoRI and ligated into this site in the pVL1393 transfer vector.
