Tubulin genes are tandemly linked and clustered in the genome of trypanosoma brucei

Tubulin genes are tandemly linked and clustered in the genome of trypanosoma brucei

L S Thomashow et al. Cell. 1983 Jan.

Abstract

We have isolated cDNA and genomic clones containing alpha- and beta-tubulin genes from Trypanosoma brucei. Each clone has been mapped, and the identity of the tubulin genes has been established by cross-hybridization with cloned chicken tubulin genes and by hybridization-selection and translation of trypanosome tubulin mRNA. In contrast with the dispersed organization of tubulin genes in other organisms, trypanosome alpha- and beta-tubulin genes are physically linked and clustered in tandem repeats of approximately 13-17 copies per haploid genome of alternating alpha- and beta-tubulin sequences.
