Correlation of the complementation relationships between the Notch locus alleles fa(g), fa(no), Ax(59d) and nd, with their genetic map order, suggests a tandem repetition within the locus of functionally related sites. This observation is discussed in relation to two hypotheses: (1) that the Notch locus contains a tandem repeat of genetic material; and (2) that the tertiary structure of the Notch locus product has a spiral configuration.
Notch基因座等位基因fa(g)、fa(no)、Ax(59d)和nd之间的互补关系与其遗传图谱顺序的相关性表明,该基因座内存在功能相关位点的串联重复。结合以下两个假说来讨论这一观察结果:(1)Notch基因座包含遗传物质的串联重复;(2)Notch基因座产物的三级结构具有螺旋构型。
