Genomic organization and nucleotide sequences of two corn histone H4 genes

G Philipps et al. Gene. 1986.

Abstract

The sea urchin histone H4 gene has been used as a probe to clone two corn histone H4 genes from a lambda gtWES X lambda B corn genomic library. The nucleotide (nt) sequences of both genes showed that the encoded amino acid sequences were identical to that of the H4 of pea and one variant of wheat. The nt sequences of the coding regions showed 92% homology. 5'- and 3'-flanking regions do not show extensive nt sequence analogies. Southern blotting of the EcoRI digested genomic DNA suggests the existence of multiple H4 genes dispersed throughout the genome.
