The renin-encoding genes have been cloned from high (Ren-1d, Ren-2d)- and low (Ren-1c)-renin-producing strains of mice (DBA/2J and C57BL/10). Each of the genes is approx. 9.6 kb in length and consists of nine exons and eight introns. The entire nucleotide sequence of the Ren-1d gene has been determined and the 5'-flanking regions of the three genes, Ren-1c, Ren-1d and Ren-2d, have been compared. The significance of several potential regulatory signals found in the DNA is discussed.
肾素编码基因已从小鼠(DBA/2J和C57BL/10)的高肾素产生株(Ren-1d、Ren-2d)和低肾素产生株(Ren-1c)中克隆出来。每个基因长度约为9.6 kb,由9个外显子和8个内含子组成。Ren-1d基因的完整核苷酸序列已确定,并且对Ren-1c、Ren-1d和Ren-2d这三个基因的5'侧翼区域进行了比较。讨论了在DNA中发现的几种潜在调控信号的意义。
