Short Communication: Exon/Intron Organisation of Human Proteasome PROS-27 K Gene

Abstract

The exon/intron structure of the human proteasome PROS-27 gene was established by means of partial sequencing of its genomic clones and comparison with the chromosome 14 sequences from the data bases. The gene contains seven exons spanning over 19 kb. Introns of the gene contain numerous Alu type repeats, Mer 2 and LINE type repeats. Pattern of the repeats indicates conservatism of the sequence.
