Nucleotide sequence analysis of the delta beta-globin gene region in humans   总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31  
The continuous DNA sequence of a 16.5-kilobase pair region encompassing the linked delta beta-globin gene cluster in humans is presented with a detailed restriction endonuclease map. There are 38 differences (0.5%) in comparison with published sequence data, corrected for errors in sequencing, resulting in polymorphic rates of 0.2% in exons and 0.76% in 5'-gene flanking regions. Fifteen changes result in the generation or elimination of restriction sites which may be useful in linkage disequilibrium studies. Two pairs of inverted Alu repeats, a pyrimidine-rich region 5' to delta, and (TG)n, (Pu/Py)n, and (ATTTT)n tracts 5' to beta are described. Dinucleotide frequencies and deviation from expected values approximated those found in total human genomic DNA. Regions of less than 50% A + T content were found associated with Alu sequences, a 150-base pair region immediately 5' to the beta gene, exon regions from both genes, and an area 3' to the beta gene. These regions also contained significantly lower than expected CpG levels compared to other regions, suggesting a possible relationship between DNA organizational patterns and functionally important regions. In addition, strand asymmetries in base composition in this region differ from those associated with the fetal globin genes.  相似文献

Contact points between the FLP protein of the yeast 2-micron plasmid and its recombination site have been defined. Important features of the region previously defined as the minimal recombination site in vitro include a pair of 13-base pair inverted repeats separated by an 8-base pair spacer. The two FLP protein-binding sites within this region are 12 base pairs in length. In each case they include the internal 11 base pairs of one of the 13-base pair repeats, as well as the adjacent base pair within the spacer. The internal 6 base pairs within the spacer are not involved in binding or recognition by FLP protein. When the size of the spacer is increased or decreased by one base pair, the distance between the cleavage points is also increased or decreased correspondingly by one base pair. Points of cleavage are unaffected by changes in the spacer sequence. Specific contact points involving purine residues, identified by methylation protection and recombination interference experiments, are located in both the major and minor grooves of the DNA. Additional contact points between FLP protein and phosphate groups in the phosphate-deoxyribose backbone are clustered near the cleavage sites.  相似文献

VL30 DNA represents a retrovirus-like multigene family of mice whose genetic origin is unknown. We have now determined the primary nucleotide sequences and the adjacent sequences of the long terminal direct repeats (LTRs) possessed by a randomly selected VL30 unit. The LTR of the VL30 unit comprised 435 nucleotide base pairs and had an inverted repeat of five bases at its 5' and 3' termini. At the joints with flanking mouse DNA was the VL30 sequence (5')TG . . . CA(3') and a tetranucleotide direct repeat of flanking sequences. At the inner boundary of the 5' LTR was an 18-base sequence that is complementary to tRNApro, and at the inner boundary of the 3' LTR was a purine-rich tract ending with AATG. These results suggested that VL30 DNA used the same integration strategy that is exercised by retrovirus proviruses and transposable elements and that the VL30 LTR is synthesized in a similar way that the LTR of retroviruses is synthesized. The data thus reinforce the retrovirus-like nature of VL30 genetic information.  相似文献

The DNA sequence of the spacer (plus flanking) regions separating the 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA genes of two presumptive rDNA operons of the archaebacterium Methanococcus vannielii was determined. The spacers are 156 and 242 base pairs in size and they share a sequence homology of 49 base pairs following the 3' terminus of the 16S rRNA gene and of about 60 base pairs preceding the 5' end of the 23S rRNA gene. The 242 base pair spacer, in addition contains a sequence which can be transcribed into tRNAAla, whereas no tRNA-like secondary structure can be delineated from the 156 base pair spacer region. Almost complete sequence homology was detected between the end of the 16S rRNA gene and the 3' termini of either Escherichia coli or Halobacterium halobium 16S rRNA, whereas the putative 5' terminal 23S rRNA sequence shared partial homology with E. coli 23S rRNA and eukaryotic 5.8S rRNA.  相似文献

Sequence homologies in the protamine gene family of rainbow trout   总被引:9,自引:2,他引:7       下载免费PDF全文
We have sequenced five different rainbow trout protamine genes plus their flanking regions. The genes are not clustered and do not contain intervening sequences. There is an extremely high degree of sequence conservation in the coding and 3' untranslated regions of the gene. Downstream sequences exhibit little homology though conserved regions are found 250 base pairs 3' to the gene. There are four regions upstream of the gene that are highly conserved in the six clones, including the canonical Goldberg - Hogness box which is 45 base pairs 5' to the coding region. A second homologous region is found 90 bases upstream. Although in the same approximate location as the CAAT box found upstream of other genes, it does not contain the canonical CAAT sequence. Further upstream of the protamine genes at -115 there is an A-T rich sequence while a 25 base pair conserved sequence is located 150 bases upstream. In addition we report the presence of a potential Z-DNA region of predominantly A-C repeats approximately one kilobase downstream of one of the genes.  相似文献
