A rat genomic library was screened using a gastric H,K-ATPase beta-subunit cDNA probe, and two clones were identified. Restriction endonuclease mapping and Southern hybridization analyses indicated that each of these clones contains the entire H,K-ATPase beta-subunit gene. The nucleotide sequence was determined for the 8.75-kb transcription unit and 2.2 kb of the 5'-flanking region. The gene consists of seven exons and shows a high degree of similarity to the Na,K-ATPase beta 1-subunit gene. Primer extension and S1 nuclease protection analyses identified a major transcription initiation site 23 bases upstream of the translation start site and several minor transcription initiation sites located further upstream. The 5'-flanking region of the gene has two potential TATA sequences, each located 25-30 bases upstream of a transcription initiation site, and a number of potential promoter and regulatory elements. In addition, the 5'-flanking region contains nucleotide sequences that may regulate transcription through the formation of unusual DNA structures. These include a sequence that may form a triple helix and an adjacent sequence with the potential to form Z-DNA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007438 Introns Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D009838 Oligodeoxyribonucleotides A group of deoxyribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Oligodeoxynucleotide,Oligodeoxyribonucleotide,Oligodeoxynucleotides

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D005091 Exons The parts of a transcript of a split GENE remaining after the INTRONS are removed. They are spliced together to become a MESSENGER RNA or other functional RNA. Mini-Exon,Exon,Mini Exon,Mini-Exons
D000251 Adenosine Triphosphatases A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.
