Organization of the human protein S genes.
Biochemistry 1990 August 29
Human genomic clones that span the entire protein S expressed gene (PS alpha) and the 3' two-thirds of the protein S pseudogene (PS beta) have been isolated and characterized. The PS alpha gene is greater than 80 kilobases in length and contains 14 introns and 15 exons, as well as 6 repetitive "Alu" sequences. Exons I and XV contain 112 and 1139 bp 5' and 3' noncoding segments in addition to the amino and carboxyl termini, respectively. Exons I-VIII encode protein segments that are homologous to the vitamin K dependent clotting proteins and are bounded by introns whose position and type are identical with other members of this protein family. Exons IX-XV encode protein segments homologous to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and are bounded by introns of identical type and position as in the SHBG gene. Genomic clones for the PS beta gene cover a distance of greater than 55 kilobases and contain segments corresponding to amino acids 46-635 of the mature protein and the 1.1-kb 3' noncoding region of the cDNA. The presence of multiple base changes in the coding portions of this gene, resulting in termination codons and frame shifts, suggests that it is a pseudogene. Comparison of DNA sequences for the two genes reveals 97% identity for coding and 3' noncoding, and 95.4% for intronic regions, suggesting divergence of the two genes is a relatively recent event.
