Abstract:
:Two allelic forms of the natural chicken ovalbumin gene have been independently cloned. These alleles differ from each other by an Eco RI restriction cleavage site in one of the seven intervening sequences within the natural ovalbumin gene. Restriction endonuclease mapping and sequence analyses of these cloned genotypic alleles have shown identical sequence organization and molecular structures of the interspersed structural and intervening sequences except for the particular Eco RI cleavage site. Sequencing data of the cloned DNA suggest that this Eco RI site may be created or eliminated by a single base mutation in the intervening sequence of the ovalbumin gene. The occurrence of apparent homozygous and heterozygous allelic forms of the ovalbumin gene in individual hens and roosters within the same breed has been observed. 10 and 40% of the chickens examined are homozygous for the ovalbumin gene with and without the extra Eco RI site, respectively, while 50% of them are heterozygous. Further analysis of individual chicken DNA cleaved by restriction endonuclease Hae III has revealed that there may be a series of such mutational variations within the ovalbumin gene. We have identified two Hae III cleavage sites that do not occur in all of the chickens, thus giving rise to several additional allelic variations of the ovalbumin gene. At least one of these Hae III sites is situated in the intervening sequence of the ovalbumin gene, and its lcoation has been mapped. Such allelic variations must be taken into consideration when determining eucaryotic gene structure by restriction mapping of the genomic DNA. Furthermore, this type of mutation within the intervening sequences of an eucaryotic gene has no known phenotypic manifestation. It represents an extrastructural silent mutation that must be taken account of in studies to estimate the rates of eucaryotic gene sequence divergence during evolution.
