Small polydisperse circular (spc) DNA was isolated from mouse thymocytes and cloned into the HindIII site of lambda vector Charon 7. Fifty-six recombinants from this spc DNA library were analyzed. R repeats, which were originally found near immunoglobulin genes, were enriched in spc DNA clones relative to their representation in the chromosome. In one clone, the R sequence was linked to Bam and MIF sequences and the contiguous arrangement was truncated from both ends. In another clone, composite Bam/R and R repeats existed as a pair in inverted repeat orientation. Truncation occurred from the 5' side without affecting the 3' ends. In both clones, short direct repeats flanked the repeated sequences. The possible role of R sequences in transposition and circular formation is discussed.
从小鼠胸腺细胞中分离出小的多分散环状(spc)DNA,并将其克隆到λ载体Charon 7的HindIII位点。对该spc DNA文库中的56个重组体进行了分析。最初在免疫球蛋白基因附近发现的R重复序列,相对于其在染色体中的表现,在spc DNA克隆中富集。在一个克隆中,R序列与Bam和MIF序列相连,并且连续排列从两端被截断。在另一个克隆中,复合Bam/R和R重复序列以反向重复方向成对存在。截断发生在5'端,而不影响3'端。讨论了R序列在转座和环状形成中的可能作用。
