Genomic organization of the periplakin/ubinuclein locus on human chromosome 16p13.3. A, Sequencing of the human genomic P1 clone, GS14060, containing PPL disclosed the presence of a novel gene, UBN1. The orientation of each gene is shown on top, and the accession numbers for the DNA sequences available from the GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ are denoted in the middle. The exons drawn and placed in scale are shown as black squares. B, Human UBN1 and PPL genes were found to reside in tail-to-tail orientation. The distance between the corresponding polyadenylation signals (AATAAA and TTTATT, underlined) is 194 bp. The ends of the cDNAs are indicated by brackets. C, The DNA sequencing of a mouse genomic λ-clone revealed that the arrangement of the mouse Ubn1/Ppl locus on the syntenic region of mouse chromosome 16 was similar to that of the human locus, and the distance between the polyadenylation signals is 197 bp.
