G-repeats: a novel hamster sine family

Received July 6, 1989. Revised August 18, 1989. Accepted August 18, 1989.

A fragment of a hamster repetitive element inserted into the aprt locus of a radiation-induced mutant is a member of a novel interspersed repetitive (SINE) family constituting approximately 0.3 to 0.5% of the hamster genome (30 to 50,000 family members). Since this family was first detected in a gene rearranged after exposure to {gamma} irradiation, we have called these G-repeats. In common with other repetitive elements, members of this family are about 300 bp in length, are highly divergent (an average of 30% from the consensus), have an A+T rich sequence flanking one side, and can be found in short polydisperse circular (SPC) DNA. In contrast to some other families, G-repeats are not flanked by short direct repeats and lack sequences corresponding to the RNA polymerase III consensus promoter
