Human chromosome 11p15.5 and distal mouse chromosome 7 include a
megabase-scale chromosomal domain with multiple genes subject to parental
imprinting. Here we describe mouse and human versions of a novel imprinted
gene, IMPT1 , which lies between IPL and p57 KIP2 and which encodes a
predicted multi-membrane-spanning protein similar to bacterial and
eukaryotic polyspecific metabolite transporter and multi- drug resistance
pumps. Mouse Impt1 and human IMPT1 mRNAs are highly expressed in tissues
with metabolite transport functions, including liver, kidney, intestine,
extra-embryonic membranes and placenta, and there is strongly preferential
expression of the maternal allele in various mouse tissues at fetal stages.
In post-natal tissues there is persistent expression, but the allelic bias
attenuates. An allelic expression bias is also observed in human fetal and
post-natal tissues, but there is significant interindividual variation and
rare somatic allele switching. The fact that Impt1 is relatively repressed
on the paternal allele, together with data from other imprinted genes,
allows a statistical conclusion that the primary effect of human chromosome
11p15.5/mouse distal chromosome 7 imprinting is domain-wide relative
repression of genes on the paternal homolog. Dosage regulation of the
metabolite transporter gene(s) by imprinting might regulate placental and
fetal growth.
