Cosmid clones containing alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1AT) gene sequences were observed to contain alpha 1AT-like sequences approximately 12 kb downstream of the authentic alpha 1AT gene. Restriction mapping suggested the alpha 1AT-like gene lacks promoter sequences. Cosmid clones from one library contained a truncated alpha 1AT-like gene with a deletion encompassing 1745 bp, including the whole exon IV and part of exon V. Sequencing of exon II of this truncated gene revealed a nucleotide homology of 76% but included critical mutations in the start codon (ATG - greater than ATA) and the 3' exon-intron junction. These results strongly suggest that the truncated alpha 1AT-like gene is a pseudogene, which is present at a frequency of 0.30 in the Dutch population.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
