To better understand the biological properties of EI24 and its potential relevance to disease, in particular cancer, we determined the chromosomal location and pattern of gene expression of EI24. EI24 is widely expressed in adult tissues and throughout mouse embryogenesis. The genomic locus of EI24 was mapped to the proximal region of mouse chromosome 9 and human chromosome 11q23-->q24, a region frequently altered in human cancers.

By screening a human hippocampus library with a bovine Nck5a cDNA, Tang et al. (1995) isolated cDNAs encoding NCK5AI, a distinct NCK5A isoform. They also referred to the protein as p39 (nck5ai) based on its calculated molecular mass of 39 kDa. This isoform showed a high degree of sequence similarity to p35 (NCK5A) with 57% amino acid identity. A 30-kDa truncated form of p39 (nck5ai) activated both recombinant and native CDK5 in vitro, as does p25 (nck5a). Northern blot analysis of rat tissues indicated that both NCK5A and p39 (nck5ai) are expressed exclusively in brain. In situ hybridization to rat brain sections revealed that p39 (nck5ai) mRNA was highly expressed in the CA1 to CA3 zone of the hippocampal formation, an area highly enriched in neurons. There was no expression in the fimbria hippocampi, where glial cells predominate. Tang et al. (1995) concluded that p39 (nck5ai) shares many common characteristics with NCK5A, including CDK5-activating activity and brainand neuron-specific expression. Both proteins show limited sequence homology to cyclins, suggesting that they define a new family of cyclin-dependent kinase-activating proteins. The gene encoding p39 (nck5ai) was called CDK5R2. Partial sequencing of the NotI linking clone NR3-007 (Zabarovsky et al., 1994) revealed that it is 100% identical to CDK5R2 over 378 bp (aa 110–235).
