Genomic structure of Unp, a murine gene encoding a ubiquitin-specific protease

M Di Fruscio et al. Biochim Biophys Acta. 1998.

Abstract

The murine Unp gene encodes a ubiquitin-specific protease, a member of a family of enzymes that includes the product of the human tre-2 oncogene. The Unp gene has previously been mapped to chromosome 9. We have cloned in bacteriophage a 50 kilobase region of chromosome 9 containing the Unp gene, and have determined the nucleotide sequence of the gene. The gene has 22 exons, distributed over 47.4 kb. A processed ribosomal S2 pseudogene was identified in the third intron of the Unp gene. Expression of Unp is driven by a GC-rich, 'housekeeping' type promoter.
