AbstractThe SFTPB (surfactant, pulmonary-associated protein B)
gene on human chromosome 2p11.2 encodes an amphipathic surfactant protein essential for lung function and homeostasis after birth. The SFTPB gene has been investigated to have transcript variants related with transposable elements (LTR7B and AluSx). We investigated the evolutionary aspect and molecular characterization of SFTPB gene using genomic DNAs and RNAs from various primate samples. LTR7B and AluSx elements within the SFTPB gene have been integrated into ancestor genome before the divergence of simian and prosimian. Alu recombination-mediated deletion (ARMD) event has been occurred after the divergence of New World monkeys and Old World monkeys in SFTPB gene 3’ UTR region. Transcript variants (306 bp and 463 bp) were newly identified by comparative RT-PCR analysis. Original transcript (419 bp) shows ubiquitous expression in various tissues and TE fusion transcript (841 bp) shows the lung specific expression in human. Taken together, integration event of LTR7B and AluSx on SFTPB gene seem to cause a lineage specific exonization event via general exonization event (New World monkeys and prosimian), ARMD event (Old World monkeys and hominoids), and alternative splicing (human) during the primate evolution.
