Abstract |
A phage clone containing the partial 慣S1-casein gene was isolated from a bovine genomic library by using mixed probes of ovine 慣S1-, 棺- and k-casein cDNAs. Restriction enzyme mapping analysis for 14.6 kb revealed that the map was in conflict with the report of Meade et al. (1990), especially in the 3`-end fragment. Sequence analysis of 12.6 kb revealed a high AT/GC ratio (1.64); we have identified eight exon sequences according to the bovine 慣S1-casein cDNA sequence. The same exon/intron splice junction sequence was observed between these exons. We suggest that the bovine 慣S1-casein gene night contain a minimum of 18 exons and the full length is approximately 18-19 kb. |
