Reduced RNA and/or protein levels corresponding to the murine nm231 and human nmì.ì-III complementary DNA clones have been correlated with high tumor metastatic potential in several rodent model systems and human breast carcinomas. We report the identification of a second human nm23 gene, designated nm23-H2. The pNM23-H2S complementary DNA clone predicted a M, 17,000 protein 88% identical to nm23-Hl. iin)23-112also shared a significant homology with nucleoside diphosphate kinases and a Drosophila developmental gene. Southern blots containing Bgt\I-restricted genomic DNA, which exhibited an allelic restriction fragment length polymorphism for nmìì-lll. contained nonallelic bands upon rehybridization to the nm23-H2 probe. Thus, nm23-Hl and nm23112 are distinct genes. Northern blot hybridization of nm23-Hland nm23-//2-specif1c probes to breast tumors and cell lines indicated that nm23-Hl expression was reduced in high metastatic potential tumor cells to a greater extent than nm23-H2. The data indicate the existence of a family of independently regulated nm23 genes.
