The HMGI-C protein is a nuclear factor expressed in human and rodent neoplastic cells which has been shown to be involved in the process of cell transformation. We have previously isolated the cDNA encoding murine HMGI-C and now we report the cloning and analysis of the mouse Hmgi-c gene. The gene is at least 50 kb long, contains five exons, and each of the three DNA-binding domains is encoded by a different exon. The location of exon-intron junctions was determined and shown to follow the GT-AG rule. The sequence revealed that the overall organization is similar to the gene encoding human HMGI(Y), the other member of the HMGI family, suggesting that HMGI genes probably evolved through gene duplication and exon shuffling events from an ancestral gene. A highly homologous pseudogene is also present in the mouse genome. Our results on Hmgi-c structure provide basic information to carry out further studies on the regulation of its expression.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D011544 Pseudogenes Genes bearing close resemblance to known genes at different loci, but rendered non-functional by additions or deletions in structure that prevent normal transcription or translation. When lacking introns and containing a poly-A segment near the downstream end (as a result of reverse copying from processed nuclear RNA into double-stranded DNA), they are called processed genes.

D004268 DNA-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases.
