GLA gene
-
Accumulation of galactosphingolipids is a general characteristic of Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficient activity of α-galactosidase A encoded by the GLA gene. Although many polymorphic GLA haplotypes have been described, it is still unclear whether some of these variants are causative of disease symptoms.

Fabry disease is a rare inborn error of metabolism with profound clinical consequences if untreated. It is caused by the deficiency of α galactosidase A enzyme and is the only lysosomal storage disorder with an X linked inheritance.

The synthesis of 7-ACA from cephalosporin C (CPC) by a two-step bioconversion using D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) and glutaryl 7-ACA acylase (GLA) has been effectively and largely applied in pharmaceutical industry. In this study, the gene gla coding for 720-amino acid GLA from plasmid pUC57::gla was analyzed and successfully inserted into vector pET22b(+) to form expression vector pET22b(+)::gla.

To analyze the regulation of Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) gene expression inXenopus laevis, we cloned the xMGPgene and its 5¢ region, determined their molecular organization, and characterized the transcriptional properties of the core promoter. TheXenopusMGP (xMGP) gene is organized into ®ve exons, one more as its mammalian counterparts.

Recent cloning of theXenopus laevis(Xl) matrix Gla protein (MGP) gene indicated the presence of a conserved overall structure for this gene between mammals and amphibians but identified an additional 5¢-exon, not detected in mammals, flanked by a functional, calcium-sensitive promoter, 3042 bp distant from the ATG initiation codon.
