Differential binding of human nuclear proteins to Alu subfamilies.
Several diagnostic differences that distinguish human Alu subfamilies are clustered just downstream from the B box of the RNA polymerase III promoter; we tentatively refer to this diagnostic region as the DB box. Assuming that this region might determine the relative transcriptional activity of Alu subfamilies, we examined the interaction of nuclear proteins with DB box sequences representing d...
متن کاملLarge-scale analysis of the Alu Ya5 and Yb8 subfamilies and their contribution to human genomic diversity.
We have utilized computational biology to screen GenBank for the presence of recently integrated Ya5 and Yb8 Alu family members. Our analysis identified 2640 Ya5 Alu family members and 1852 Yb8 Alu family members from the draft sequence of the human genome. We selected a set of 475 of these elements for detailed analyses. Analysis of the DNA sequences from the individual Alu elements revealed a...
متن کاملDispersion and insertion polymorphism in two small subfamilies of recently amplified human Alu repeats.
Newly isolated members of two recently propagated (young) Alu subfamilies were examined for sequence diversity and insertion polymorphism in primate genomes. The smaller subfamily (termed HS-2) is comprised of approximately 5 to 25 members, while the larger (termed Sb2) includes approximately 125 to 600 members. Individual members of these Alu subfamilies share distinguishing sets of diagnostic...
متن کاملSequence Analysis and Characterization of Active Human Alu Subfamilies Based on the 1000 Genomes Pilot Project
The goal of the 1000 Genomes Consortium is to characterize human genome structural variation (SV), including forms of copy number variations such as deletions, duplications, and insertions. Mobile element insertions, particularly Alu elements, are major contributors to genomic SV among humans. During the pilot phase of the project we experimentally validated 645 (611 intergenic and 34 exon targ...
متن کاملAlu transcripts: cytoplasmic localisation and regulation by DNA methylation.
Full length Alu transcripts in HeLa cells are detected by primer extension using reverse transcriptase and are also analyzed as cloned cDNA sequences. The 5' end of these transcripts corresponds to the transcriptional start site for RNA polymerase III indicating that these RNAs are transcribed from their internal polymerase III promoters. The Alu transcripts found in cytoplasmic poly A+ RNAs ap...
