RESUMO
Bacteriophage libraries of human DNA were screened for sequences homologous to the transforming gene (v-myb) of avian myeloblastosis virus. The three overlapping clones isolated were shown to contain a total of 1.0 kilobase pair (kbp) of sequence related to v-myb distributed over 6.2 kbp. Restriction enzyme mapping and heteroduplex analysis revealed the presence of five myb-related domains interrupted by four stretches of non-homology. To study the extent of human DNA coding sequences that constitute the myb gene homologue, c-myb (human), probes spanning about 30 kbp were prepared from the clones and used to study transcription in a human hematopoietic cell line (MOLT-4). Each of the probes hybridized a 4.5-kilobase transcript, which suggests that either the c-myb (human) gene encompasses 30 kbp or it contains two or more transcription units that each give rise to a mRNA of 4.5 kilobases.
