The human calbindin 27-kDa gene: structural organization of the 5' and 3' regions, chromosomal assignment, and restriction fragment length polymorphism
Abstract
The 5' and 3' regions of the human gene coding for calbindin 27 kDa were cloned and sequenced. Structural features of the 5' region included the presence of an Alu repeat and two elements regularly associated with eukaryotic promoters: an alternating purine-pyrimidine element and a homopurine-homopyrimidine box. The 3' region contained a second Alu family member and a degenerate 1.4-kb L1 repeat. A comparison with the chicken promoter was made in order to define regions conserved in evolution and potentially important in gene expression regulation. The greater similarity is located around the TATA box, but strongly conserved elements were not found. The gene was assigned to chromosome 8 by using human-rodent hybrid cell lines. Two restriction fragment length polymorphisms (HindIII and SacI) were detected with a cDNA probe recognizing the 3' end of the gene.
