title: Segmental homologies in the coding and 3' non-coding sequences of rat liver cytochrome P-450e and P-450b cDNAs and cytochrome P-450e-like genes.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of a cloned cDNA insert carried by pHDQ14 was determined and found to code for the 107 C-terminal amino acids of rat liver cytochrome P-450e. Comparison of the pHQ14 cDNA sequence with those of cloned cDNAs for cytochrome P-450b and of 2 P-450e-like genes revealed segmental homologies that may have resulted from gene conversion. These results suggest that gene conversion may generate sequence variants of genes for rat liver cytochrome P-450s.
