The human prion protein (PrP) is a glycoprotein with a glycosylphosphat-idylinositol (GPI) anchor at its C-terminus. Here we report alternative splic-ing within exon 2 of the PrPgene (PRNP) in the human glioblastoma cell line T98G. The open reading frame of the alternatively spliced mRNA lacked the GPI anchor signal sequence and encoded a 230 amino acid polypeptide. | ỊFEBS Journal Hypoxia induces expression of a GPI-anchorless splice variant of the prion protein Yutaka Kikuchi1 Tomoshi Kakeya1 Osamu Nakajima2 Ayako Sakai1 Kikuko Ikeda3 Naoto Yamaguchi3 Takeshi Yamazaki4 Ken-ichi Tanamoto4 Haruo Matsuda5 Jun-ichi Sawada2 and Kosuke Takatori1 1 Division of Microbiology National institute of Health Sciences Tokyo Japan 2 Division of Biochemistry and Immunochemistry National institute of Health Sciences Tokyo Japan 3 Department of Molecular Cell Biology Graduate Schoolof PharmaceuticalScience Chiba University Japan 4 Division of Food Additives National institute of Health Sciences Tokyo Japan 5 Laboratory of Immunobiology Graduate Schoolof Biosphere Science Hiroshima University Japan Keywords alternative splicing Creudzfeldt-Jakob disease GPI anchor hypoxia prion Correspondence Y.

Here we report alternative splicing within exon 2 of the PrP gene PRNP in the human glioblastoma cell line T98G. The open reading frame of the alternatively spliced mRNA lacked the GPI anchor signal sequence and encoded a 230 amino acid polypeptide. Its product GPI-anchorless PrP GPI PrPSV was unglycosylated and soluble in non-ionic detergent and was found in the cytosolic fraction. We also detected low levels of alternatively spliced mRNA in human brain and non-neuronal tissues. When long-term passaged T98G cells were placed in a low-oxygen environment alternatively spliced mRNA expression increased and expression of normally spliced PrP mRNA decreased. These findings imply that oxygen tension regulates GPI PrPSV expression in T98G cells. Fatal human prion .
