A B1 repetitive sequence near the mouse beta-major globin gene. 1982

L W Coggins, and J K Vass, and M A Stinson, and W G Lanyon, and J Paul

A sequence which lies 2.8 kb to the 3' side of the BALB/c mouse beta-major globin gene has been identified by its ability to hybridise to a member of the human Alu repetitive sequence family. Nucleotide sequencing revealed a 133-bp region that shows 89% homology to the consensus sequence of the B1 family, the murine equivalent of the Alu family. To the 3' side of this sequence is a 31-bp region, C(A)3(C)2T(C)3G(C)11(A)9, which contains oligo(C) and oligo(A) tracts. The whole 164-bp sequence is flanked by a 16-bp imperfect direct repeat, G(A)4GGAGTCTCATAG. The orientation of the B1 sequence is such that transcription by RNA polymerase III would be expected to occur in the same direction as transcription of the neighbouring beta-major globin gene by RNA polymerase II.

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).

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

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.
