The structure of the semenogelin gene locus--nucleotide sequence of the intergenic and the flanking DNA

Lundwall, Åke LU (1996) In Eur J Biochem 235(3). p.70-466
Abstract
The sequence of 15.7 kb from the human semenogelin gene locus has been determined. Together with previously published sequences, this gives the structure of a 28-kb region encompassing the two semenogelin genes. The two transcription units are separated by 11616 bp intergenic DNA comprising more than 40% repetitive DNA sequences, predominantly located to a 4-kb block of L1 and Alu repeats. Two more blocks of L1 sequences are present in the DNA flanking the genes, so that approximately 20% of the completed sequence consists of long interspersed repeated sequences, so called LINES. A comparison of the SgI gene and the SgII gene suggests that they evolved by the duplication of an approximately 8 kb DNA segment about 61 million years ago,... (More)

A comparison of the SgI gene and the SgII gene suggests that they evolved by the duplication of an approximately 8 kb DNA segment about 61 million years ago, probably by a mechanism involving recombination between L1 elements.
