ABSTRACT
Human metastasis-suppressor genes nm23-1 (NME1) and nm23-2 (NME2) are implicated in control of the metastatic potential of malignant cells. Using somatic cell hybrid analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization we co-localized both genes to 17q21.3. The 17q21 region carries the locus responsible for early-onset familial breast-ovarian cancer and several other genes that are involved in tumorigenesis and differentiation and undergo frequent rearrangements during neoplastic development. Thus, our mapping places the NME genes in a region that may be subjected to multiple selection pressures. NME1 and NME2 genes were expressed as soluble proteins in a T7 bacterial expression system. Both proteins are independently active nucleotide diphosphate kinases and readily form intra- and intermolecular disulfide bonds. The biochemical properties of these proteins may explain the diversity of mature eucaryotic nucleoside diphosphate kinases.
