Gene organization of the BAC-26P8 clone which contains the B-ES of VSG 10.1. (A) Map of the B-ES of VSG 10.1 and upstream regions in TREU927/4 GUTat10.1, as previously described (36). The locations of the genes and retrotransposons (RIME and ingi) in BAC-26P8 are shown (□). Genes shown above the line are oriented towards the telomere, whereas those shown below the line are oriented away from the telomere. ▪, 50-bp, 70-bp, and telomere repeats. Expressions site-associated genes (ESAGs) are numbered 1 to 8 and the black flag indicates the position of the B-ES promoter. The B-ES, starting at the promoter, is highlighted by a large grey box. The region containing uncharacterized repeated sequences located upstream of the B-ES is indicated. (B) Detailed analysis of the region containing RHS pseudogenes in BAC-26P8. Sequences encoding RHS1 to RHS4 pseudogenes (large boxes) are shown using the same color code as in Fig. 2. The name and orientation of each RHS pseudogene are indicated above or below the boxes. The upstream (5") and downstream (3") sequences conserved between the different RHS (pseudo)genes of the same or different subfamilies are indicated by intermediate size boxes containing horizontal lines. All the RIME and ingi retroelements that are inserted into RHS genes are indicated by small white boxes.
