Xenopus laevis has recently been determined as a novel study platform of gene function. In this study, we cloned Xenopus DRR1 (xDRR1), which is homologous to human down-regulated in renal carcinoma (DRR1) gene. Bioinformatics analysis for DRR1 indicated that xDRR1 shared 74% identity with human DRR1 and 66% with mouse DRR1, and the phlogenetic tree of DRR1 protein was summarized. The xDRR1 gene locates in nuclei determined by transfecting A549 cells with the recombinant plasmid pEGFP-N1/xDRR1. RT-PCR analysis revealed that xDRR1 gene was expressed in all stages of early embryo development and all kinds of detected tissues, and whole-mount in situ hybridization showed xDRR1 was mainly present along ectoderm and mesoderm. Furthermore, xDRR1 expression could suppress A549 cell growth by transfecting with plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)/xDRR1. xDRR1 probably plays important roles involving in cell growth regulation and Xenopus embryo development.
