title: [Determination and analysis of the primary structure of a genomic sequence adjacent to the 3'-end of the human tissue plasminogen activator gene].
abstract: Primary structure was determined for the recently cloned f1/BglII-fragment [19] containing 2102 b.p. of the human tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) gene 3' end and adjacent DNA region. Computer analysis has revealed an Alu-repeat 820 b.p. downstream the tPA gene; the sequence proved to have a considerable homology (86-88%) with the Alus from the 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of cytochrome P-450, lysozyme and p53 protein human mRNAs. The same homology was estimated for this Alu in reversed orientation and Alus from the 3'UTRs of some other human mRNAs. In contrast, the homology between this 3' end tPA gene flanking Alu-repeat and other Alus dispersed throughout the gene introns either direct or reversed, was less than 70%. The polyadenylation signal AATAAA downstream the Alu and two nearby signals CACAG and GTGTT resembling consensus sequences CACAG and YGTGTTYY, respectively, were also detected. The two latter motifs located close to the 3' ends in most mammalian genes are likely to regulate mature mRNA formation. The comparison of the sequenced spaser flank adjacent to the tPA gene with short homologous sequence from the same genomic region primary structure reported previously has revealed discrepancies (substitutions, deletions or insertions) in 21 nucleotide positions. The nucleotide sequence of E. coli uvrB gene fragment (980 b.p.) is also reported. This E. coli gene fragment was cloned accidentally within the f1/BglII-fragment being an artifact of the host-vector system used.
