Abstract

The rat lithostathine gene was isolated from a genomic library using a rapid screening procedure involving PCR amplification. It was characterized over 2.7 kbp of gene sequence and 2.43 kbp of 5'-flanking sequence. The 5'-end of the coding sequence was determined by primer extension of lithostathine mRNA. The lithosathine sequence spanned over six exons. The promoter region of the gene contained the TATAAA and CCAAT consensus sequences 30 and 107 bp upstream of the cap site, respectively. Furthermore, a tract of (TG)22 repeat, with potential Z-DNA conformation, was found at position-1081.
