Brain-enriched isoforms of skeletal proteins in
the spectrin and ankyrin gene families have been described. Here we
characterize protein 4.1B, a novel homolog of erythrocyte protein 4.1R
that is encoded by a distinct gene. In situ hybridization
revealed high level, focal expression of 4.1B mRNA in select
neuronal populations within the mouse brain, including Purkinje cells
of the cerebellum, pyramidal cells in hippocampal regions CA1-3,
thalamic nuclei, and olfactory bulb. Expression was also detected in
adrenal gland, kidney, testis, and heart. 4.1B protein exhibits high
homology to the membrane binding, spectrin-actin binding, and
C-terminal domains of 4.1R, including motifs for interaction with NuMA
and FKBP13. cDNA characterization and Western blot analysis
revealed multiple spliceoforms of protein 4.1B, with functionally
relevant heterogeneity in the spectrin-actin and NuMA binding domains. Regulated alternative splicing events led to expression of unique 4.1B
isoforms in brain and muscle; only the latter possessed a functional
spectrin-actin binding domain. By immunofluorescence, 4.1B was
localized specifically at the plasma membrane in regions of cell-cell
contact. Together these results indicate that 4.1B transcription is
selectively regulated among neuronal populations and that alternative
splicing regulates expression of 4.1B isoforms possessing critical
functional domains typical of other protein 4.1 family members.
