Three cytochrome c mRNAs (1,400, 1,100 and 700 nucleotides) are colinear with RC4, a gene that has introns and correctly encodes cytochrome c. A comparison of RC4 to six nonallelic clones isolated from the rat cytochrome c multigene family demonstrates that all three mRNAs are represented in the genome as processed pseudogenes. Four of the six pseudogenes are derived from the 1,100-nucleotide mRNA, and genomic hybridizations further establish that nearly all of the 30 or so gene family members are also genomic copies of this mRNA despite the equimolar ratio of the three messages in rat tissues. Thus, the surprising multiplicity of cytochrome c sequences in the rat genome is mainly accounted for by the selective use of the 1,100-nucleotide mRNA for the formation of processed pseudogenes. In contrast to 700- and 1,400-nucleotide species which are polyadenylated downstream from AAGUAAA and AAUUAAA, respectively, the 1,100-nucleotide mRNA uses the ubiquitous AAUAAA and also displays a unique stem and loop structure (delta G = -59.4 kJ) centered 37 base pairs upstream from this sequence.

The mouse surfeit locus is unusual in that it contains a number of closely clustered genes (Surf-1, -2, and -4) that alternate in their direction of transcription (T. Williams, J. Yon, C. Huxley, and M. Fried, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:3527-3530, 1988). The heterogeneous 5' ends of Surf-1 and Surf-2 are separated by 15 to 73 base pairs (bp), and the 3' ends of Surf-2 and Surf-4 overlap by 133 bp (T. Williams and M. Fried, Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:4558-4569, 1986; T. Williams and M. Fried, Nature (London) 322:275-279, 1986). A fourth gene in this locus, Surf-3, which is a member of a multigene family, has been identified. The poly(A) addition site of Surf-3 lies only 70 bp from the poly(A) addition site of Surf-1. Transcription of Surf-3 has been studied in the absence of the other members of its multigene family after transfection of a cloned genomic mouse DNA fragment, containing the Surf-3 gene, into heterologous monkey cells. Surf-3 specifies a highly expressed 1.0-kilobase mRNA that contains a long open reading frame of 266 amino acids, which would encode a highly basic polypeptide (23% Arg plus Lys). The other members of the Surf-3 multigene family are predominantly, if not entirely, intronless pseudogenes with the hallmarks of being generated by reverse transcription. The role of the very tight clustering on regulation of expression of the genes in the surfeit locus is discussed.

Overproduction of P-glycoprotein is intimately associated with multidrug resistance. This protein appears to be encoded by a multigene family. Thus, differential expression of different members of this family may contribute to the complexity of the multidrug resistance phenotype. Three lambda genomic clones isolated from a hamster genomic library represent different members of the hamster P-glycoprotein gene family. Using a highly conserved exon probe, we found that the hamster P-glycoprotein gene family consists of three genes. We also found that the P-glycoprotein gene family consists of three genes in mice but has only two genes in humans and rhesus monkeys. The hamster P-glycoprotein genes have similar exon-intron organizations within the 3' region encoding the cytoplasmic domains. We propose that the hamster P-glycoprotein gene family arose from gene duplication. The hamster pgp1 and pgp2 genes appear to be more closely related to each other than either gene is to the pgp3 gene. We speculate that the hamster pgp1 and pgp2 genes arose from a recent gene duplication event and that primates did not undergo this duplication and therefore contain only two P-glycoprotein genes.

We have observed three calmodulin mRNA species in rat tissues. In order to know from how many expressed genes they are derived, we have investigated the genomic organization of calmodulin genes in the rat genome. From a rat brain cDNA library, we obtained two kinds of cDNAs (pRCM1 and pRCM3) encoding authentic calmodulin. DNA sequence analysis of these cDNA clones revealed substitutions of nucleotides at 73 positions of 450 nucleotides in the coding region, although the amino acid sequences of these calmodulins are exactly the same. DNA sequences in the 5' and 3' noncoding regions are quite different between these two cDNAs. From these results, we conclude that they are derived from two distinct bona fide calmodulin genes, CaMI (pRCM1) and CaMII (pRCM3). Total genomic Southern hybridization suggested four distinct calmodulin-related genes in the rat genome. By cloning and sequencing the calmodulin-related genes from rat genomic libraries, we demonstrated that the other two genes are processed pseudogenes generated from the CaMI (lambda SC9) and CaMII (lambda SC8) genes, respectively, through an mRNA-mediated process of insertions. Northern blotting showed that the CaMI gene is transcribed in liver, muscle, and brain in similar amounts, whereas the CaMII gene is transcribed mainly in brain. S1 nuclease mapping indicated that the CaMI gene produced two mRNA species (1.7 and 4 kilobases), whereas the CaMII gene expressed a single mRNA species (1.4 kilobases).

A novel member of the serine/threonine protein kinase gene family, designated sgk, for serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase, was identified in a differential screen for glucocorticoid-inducible transcripts expressed in the Con8.hd6 rat mammary tumor cell line. sgk encodes a protein of 49 kDa which has significant sequence homology (45 to 55% identity) throughout its catalytic domain with rac protein kinase, the protein kinase C family, ribosomal protein S6 kinase, and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. sgk mRNA is expressed in most adult rat tissues, with the highest levels in the thymus, ovary, and lung, as well as in several rodent and human cell lines. sgk mRNA was stimulated by glucocorticoids and by serum within 30 min, and both inductions were independent of de novo protein synthesis. The transcriptional regulation by glucocorticoids is a primary response, since the promoter of sgk contains a glucocorticoid response element consensus sequence 1.0 kb upstream of the start of transcription which is able to stimulate chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene activity in a dexamethasone-dependent manner. Antibodies that specifically recognize sgk-encoded protein on an immunoblot were generated. This protein was shown to increase in abundance with glucocorticoid treatment in a manner which paralleled the mRNA accumulation. This is the first report of a presumed serine/threonine protein kinase that is highly regulated at the transcriptional level by glucocorticoid hormones and suggests a novel interplay between glucocorticoid receptor signalling and a protein kinase of the second messenger family.
