    Abstract

    The E6-AP gene (UBE3A) encodes an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that binds the human papillomavirus E6 oncoprotein and catalyzes the ubiquitination of p53. Recent studies have also established that mutations in E6-AP are the genetic basis of the Angelman syndrome in humans. In this study we present the genomic structure of the coding region of E6-AP and an analysis of a set of five E6-AP mRNAs with the potential to encode three protein isoforms of the E6-AP protein (isoforms I, II, and III) that differ at their extreme amino-termini. These transcripts were expressed in a variety of different cell lines examined.
