To identify candidates for cis-acting sequences that regulate the stage and cell-specific expression of the two coordinately regulated protamine genes in the mouse, genomic clones were isolated and the nucleotide sequences of the 5' flanking regions and coding regions were compared. Unlike most histone genes and the multigene family of trout protamine genes which are intronless, each mouse protamine gene has a single, short intervening sequence. Although the coding regions do not share significant nucleotide homology, the 5' flanking regions contain several short homologous sequences that may be involved in gene regulation. An additional shared sequence is present in the 3' untranslated region surrounding the poly(A) addition signal in both genes.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

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. Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D011479 Protamines A group of simple proteins that yield basic amino acids on hydrolysis and that occur combined with nucleic acid in the sperm of fish. Protamines contain very few kinds of amino acids. Protamine sulfate combines with heparin to form a stable inactive complex; it is used to neutralize the anticoagulant action of heparin in the treatment of heparin overdose.
