Chicken globin gene number.

چکیده
Using complementary DNA prepared from adult chicken globin messenger RNA, we show the existence of 2-3 non-cross-hybridising globin sequences in the chicken genome, each of which is present in only one copy per haploid genome. This was done by solution hybridization to total DNA under conditions of cDNA excess. The data agreses with results of RNA-driven hybridisation of globin complementary DNA, and with protein data.

Multiple sequence-specific DNA binding activities are eluted from chicken nuclei at low ionic strengths.
DNA sequence-specific binding proteins eluted from chicken erythrocyte and thymus nuclei, and fractionated as described by Emerson and Felsenfeld (19), have been investigated by filter binding and footprint analyses. The erythrocyte nuclear protein fraction specifically binds to at least two sites within the 5' flanking chromatin hypersensitive site of the chicken beta A-globin gene, and to a s...
متن کاملReactivation of chicken erythrocyte nuclei in heterokaryons results in expression of adult chicken globin genes.
Activation of chicken globin gene transcription has been demonstrated in chicken erythrocyte--rat L6 myoblast heterokaryons. The globin mRNA is polyadenylylated and is translated into adult chicken alpha A-, alpha D-, and beta-globin polypeptides. No fetal globin mRNA or globin polypeptides were detected. Heterokaryons between chicken erythrocytes and mouse neuroblastoma cells or hamster BHK ce...
متن کاملPattern of chick gene activation in chick erythrocyte heterokaryons
The reactivation of chicken erythrocyte nuclei in chick-mammalian heterokaryons resulted in the activation of chick globin gene expression. However, the level of chick globin synthesis was dependent on the mammalian parental cell type. The level of globin synthesis was high in chick erythrocyte-rat L6 myoblast heterokaryons but was 10-fold lower in chick erythrocyte-mouse A9 cell heterokaryons....
متن کاملSpecific factor conferring nuclease hypersensitivity at the 5' end of the chicken adult beta-globin gene.
Chromatin in the 5' flanking region of the transcriptionally active chicken adult beta(beta A) globin gene is hypersensitive to nuclease digestion. When plasmids carrying this gene are combined with histones in the presence of extracts from 9-day-old chicken erythrocyte nuclei, the resultant complex displays hypersensitive behavior in the same region. No such behavior is observed with extracts ...
متن کاملComplete amino acid sequence of the major early embryonic beta-like globin in chickens.
The rho globin is the major beta-like chain found in 5-day-old chick embryos. In association with two unique early embryonic alpha-like globins, it forms the two major hemoglobins of early chick development. This paper presents the complete amino acid sequence of the rho globin. There are no amino acid differences between the rho chain and the adult chicken beta chain at known Bohr effect or or...
