Genomic Organization of ancop Gene for alpha-COP Homolog from Aspergillus nidulans
Abstract
- We have cloned a alpha-COP homolog, ancop, from Aspergillus nidulans by colony hybridization of chromosome specific library using alpha-COP homologous fragment as a probe. The probe DNA was amplified with degenerated primers designed by comparison of conserved region of the amino acid sequences of Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-COP, Homo sapiens HEP-COP, and Drosophila melanogaster alpha-COP. Full length cDNA clone was also amplified by RT-PCR. Comparison of genomic DNA sequence with cDNA sequence obtained by RT-PCR revealed 7 introns. Amino acid sequence similarity search of the anCop with other alpha-COPs gave an overall identity of 52% with S. cerevisiae, 47% with human and bovine, 45% with Drosophila and Arabidopsis . In upstream region from the transcription start site, a putative TATA and CAAT motif were also identified.
