- Abstract
Protein phosphorylation plays a crucial role in the regulation of a wide array of proteins involved in many cellular processes. Protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) is a novel member of the protein serine/threonine phosphatase family. The majority of the cDNA sequence of PP5 has been reported recently. In our study, a sequence encoding the whole open reading frame of PP5 was cloned from a human fetal brain cDNA library. The protein phosphatase cDNA sequence of our clone is longer at the 5' end than the recently published sequence. It's likely that the extended sequence contains the start codon ATG, since a translation stop codon TAG is present upstream of the ATG codon in the same open reading frame. The mRNA of the PP5 gene was detected in all the human tissues examined. The PP5 gene was localized to human chromosomal region 19q13.3.
