T-CELL LEUKEMIA TRANSLOCATION-ASSOCIATED GENE; TCTA


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: TCTA

Cytogenetic location: 3p21.31     Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:49,412,423-49,416,476 (from NCBI)


TEXT

Cloning and Expression

Aplan et al. (1995) cloned a gene at the site of a t(1;3)(p34;p21) translocation breakpoint in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A cDNA for the gene, designated TCTA (T-cell leukemia translocation-associated gene), was identified from a human bone marrow library. The cDNA has a short open reading frame of 103 amino acids. Northern blots showed that the gene was expressed ubiquitously with highest levels in the kidney. The TCTA gene is deleted in a subset of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines. By comparative Southern blot analysis, the authors detected related sequences in the DNA of other mammals, chicken, and Drosophila.


Mapping

Aplan et al. (1995) identified the TCTA gene at chromosome 3p21 by analysis of a translocation breakpoint.
