Characterization of a mouse somatic cytochrome c gene and three cytochrome c pseudogenes

Keith J. Limbach and Ray Wu

Section of Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology, Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14253, USA

Received September 4, 1984. Revised December 17, 1984. Accepted December 17, 1984.

Mouse contains two functional, but differentially expressed, cytochrome c genes. One of these genes is expressed in all somatic tissues so far examined. The other gene is expressed only in testis and is assumed to be spermatogenesis-specific. The nucleotide sequence of four mouse cytochrome c-like genes has been determined, One of these genes (MC1) contains an intron and encodes a polypeptide sequence identical to the publIshed mouse somatic cytochrome c amino acid sequence. The other three genes can not properly encode a mouse cvtochrome c protein and appear to be pseudogenes which have arisen via an insertion into the mouse genome of a cDNA copy of a cytochrome c mRNA molecule.
