Abstract

We report the cloning of a cDNA encoding GliPR (glioma pathogenesis-related protein), a protein that is structurally similar to plant pathogenesis-related proteins. The GLIPR gene is highly expressed in the human brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme/astrocytoma, but neither in normal fetal or adult brain tissue, nor in other nervous system tumors. GliPR shares up to 50% amino acid (aa) homology with plant pathogenesis-related proteins, group 1, over a region that comprises almost two thirds of the protein. We speculate that there may be functional similarities between the human and plant proteins as well.
