Three genes for the human high affinity Fc receptor for IgG (Fc gamma RI) encode four distinct transcription products
Abstract
Three distinct but closely related classes of receptors that bind the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (Fc gamma RI, -II, and -III) have been identified in humans. Only Fc gamma RI has high affinity for ligand and has a unique third extracellular domain (EC3). We have characterized three genes for human Fc gamma RI (A, B, and C). Each gene consists of six exons, spans 9.4 kilobase pairs, and localizes to chromosome 1. Although they are remarkably similar, genes B and C are notably different from A; in-frame stop codons are present in the EC3 domain of genes B and C, and deletions occur in a splice donor sequence of gene B. Four distinct Fc gamma RI transcripts were analyzed. One transcript, from gene A, would encode a transmembrane receptor with three external domains. A second transcript, an alternatively spliced product of gene B, would encode a two-external domain transmembrane receptor. Two transcripts, from genes B and C, have stop codons in EC3 and would be predicted to generate secreted receptors.
