| Popis: | Four cosmid clones containing putative pseudogenes for human aldehyde dehydrogenase (Aldose reductase) were isolated from libraries made to two individuals. These clones show different patterns on digestion with restriction endonucleases and probably represent distinct and separate loci. The DNA sequence of one of the putative pseudogenes (cosmid AR.F) was determined, and comparisons demonstrate 89.7% homology with the cDNA sequence of the functional aldose reductase gene. This pseudogene sequence contains no intronic sequences, whereas the functional aldose reductase has nine introns. In addition, the homology disappears in region 5′ to the transcription start site for the cDNA, implying that regulatory elements such as the promoter are missing from this pseudogene. The pseudogene defined by cosmid AR.F has been mapped to chromosome 3 by polymerase chain reaction using amplimers specific for this pseudogene to amplify DNA from somatic cell hybrids. |
