Southern-blot analysis of SIRK gene
copy number. A, Blot of total genomic DNA (10 μg per lane) digested
with the indicated restriction enzymes. Hybridization was performed
with the 3.2-kb PflmI/DraI fragment of
SIRK cDNA. The blot was washed under high-stringency
conditions. The positions of the size standards are indicated on the
left in kilobases. B, Restriction map of SIRK gene. The
localization of restriction enzyme sites (EI, EcoRI; EV,
EcoRV; and H, HindIII) and the position of the
probe are indicated in bases from the translational start codon of the
gene.
