Abstract
We have utilized the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to isolate a 3.5 kilobase pair (kb) genomic fragment that encodes the additional extracellular domain unique to the epithelial isoform of CD44 (CD44E). Nucleotide sequence was determined for this complete region and sequence comparison to our previously determined CD44R1 and CD44R2 cDNA sequences revealed the R region to be comprised of three exons of 102 bp, 90 bp, and 204 bp. Northern blot analysis of CD44 expressing cell lines confirmed the presence of CD44R1 transcripts and indicates that the epithelial domain may be inserted through alternative splicing into all CD44 transcript classes. Southern blot analysis of the CD44E genomic fragments is consistent with a single copy per human haploid genome. The data presented here further supports our model of the human CD44 transcriptional unit as a single gene complex that utilizes an invariant 5' initiation site, alternative internal and 3' end splicing, and multiple poly (A) sites to generate through RNA processing a diverse number of human CD44 isoforms.
