title: Nucleotide sequence of the 3' nuclease-sensitive region of the human phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) gene.
abstract: Many genes are known to have nuclease-sensitive sites and/or control sequences in their 3' flanking regions, but for very few genes has this region been sequenced. Previously, we mapped specific, gene activity-dependent DNAase I- and MspI-sensitive sites at the 3' end of the human X-linked housekeeping gene phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1). Sequence information presented here shows that the 3' nuclease-sensitive site maps precisely to an Alu sequence and near a "BKM" repeat. This is the first report of an Alu sequence that has alternative chromatin configurations depending on gene activity.
