Glycophorin A (GPA; 111300) and glycophorin B (GPB; 111740) are the
read moremajor sialoglycoproteins of the human red cell membrane and carry the
blood group MN and Ss antigens, respectively; they are also ligands for
viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Glycophorin C (GPC; 110750) has been
identified also. In the normal human genome, as well as in that of
persons with known alterations of GPA (also called GYPA) and/or GPB
(also GYPB) expression, Vignal et al. (1990) found a new gene closely
related to GYPA and GYPB. This gene, called glycophorin E (GPE, or
GYPE), is transcribed into a 0.6-kb message which encodes a 78-amino
acid protein with a putative leader peptide of 19 residues. The first 26
amino acids of the mature protein are identical to those of M-type
glycophorin A, but the C-terminal domain, residues 27-59, differs
significantly from those of GYPA and GYPB. The GYPE gene consists of 4
exons, distributed over 30 kb of DNA. Its nucleotide sequence is
homologous to those of GYPA and GYPB in the 5-prime region, up to exon
3. From an analysis of the GYPA, GYPB, and GYPE genes in glycophorin
variants En(a-), S-s-U- and Mk, Vignal et al. (1990) concluded that the
3 genes are organized in tandem on chromosome 4. Deletion events within
this region may remove 1 or 2 structural genes and generate new hybrid
structures in which the promoter region of 1 gene is positioned upstream
from the body of another gene of the same family. The GYPE gene and its
transcript were independently identified by Kudo and Fukuda (1990). Onda
et al. (1993) identified a presumptive precursor genomic segment that
contributed to the 3-prime end of a duplicated GPA gene from which the
GPB and GPE genes evolved through further duplication and divergence.
Kudo et al. (1990) mapped the GPE gene to 4q31.1 by in situ
hybridization.
Onda and Fukuda (1995) isolated several P1 plasmid clones with which
they characterized the organization of the glycophorin A, B, and E gene
cluster which spans about 330 kb of chromosome 4q31. For each gene, the
first intron varies in size from 25 to 29 kb, while the intergenic
interval is approximately 80 kb. The authors proposed that the
GPA-GPB-GPE cluster arose by 2 successive duplications and a number of
subsequent events, including a gene conversion between the exon 2 region
of GPA and GPE.

related to GYPA and GYPB. This gene, called glycophorin E (GPE, or
GYPE), is transcribed into a 0.6-kb message which encodes a 78-amino
acid protein with a putative leader peptide of 19 residues. The first 26
amino acids of the mature protein are identical to those of M-type
glycophorin A, but the C-terminal domain, residues 27-59, differs
significantly from those of GYPA and GYPB. The GYPE gene consists of 4
exons, distributed over 30 kb of DNA. Its nucleotide sequence is
homologous to those of GYPA and GYPB in the 5-prime region, up to exon
3. From an analysis of the GYPA, GYPB, and GYPE genes in glycophorin
variants En(a-), S-s-U- and Mk, Vignal et al. (1990) concluded that the
3 genes are organized in tandem on chromosome 4. Deletion events within
this region may remove 1 or 2 structural genes and generate new hybrid
structures in which the promoter region of 1 gene is positioned upstream
from the body of another gene of the same family. The GYPE gene and its
transcript were independently identified by Kudo and Fukuda (1990). Onda
et al. (1993) identified a presumptive precursor genomic segment that
contributed to the 3-prime end of a duplicated GPA gene from which the
GPB and GPE genes evolved through further duplication and divergence.
Kudo et al. (1990) mapped the GPE gene to 4q31.1 by in situ
hybridization.
Onda and Fukuda (1995) isolated several P1 plasmid clones with which
they characterized the organization of the glycophorin A, B, and E gene
cluster which spans about 330 kb of chromosome 4q31. For each gene, the
first intron varies in size from 25 to 29 kb, while the intergenic
interval is approximately 80 kb. The authors proposed that the
GPA-GPB-GPE cluster arose by 2 successive duplications and a number of
subsequent events, including a gene conversion between the exon 2 region
of GPA and GPE.
