Fragments of cDNA coding for rat, murine, and human sepiapterin reductase (SR) were amplified by PCR via primer positioning close to the reported 3'-end of the coding region in the rat enzyme. They were sequenced and used as probes for mRNA detection. Northern blot analysis detected two mRNA species for SR. Their sizes were 1.3 and 2.1 kb for rat, 1.3 and 2.3 kb for mouse, and 1.6 and 2.1 kb for human cell lines. Comparison of rat cell lines and rat tissues indicated that in tissues only the 1.3-kb species is present. Washing of the Northern blots under different stringency conditions indicated a more stable interaction of the 1.3-kb mRNA species with the cDNA probe as compared to the 2.3-kb species. The 1.3-kb species corresponds to the reported 28.2-kDa molecular mass of rat SR monomer. SR mRNA expression is absent in the human NK-like cell line YT and in the murine erythroleukemia subclone B8/3, which both lack SR activity. Moreover,the relative mRNA expression correlates with the enzymatic activities of different cell lines within the same species. This indicates that SR activity is regulated by its steady state mRNA levels.
