Three different Harvey-ras (Ha-ras) genes have been identified in the bovine genome by screening a lambda phage-bovine DNA library with the ras gene of the Harvey murine sarcoma virus. The genes have been characterized by hybridization and heteroduplex analysis with both the viral and human Ha-ras genes. Based on heteroduplex mapping, the putative direction of transcription and the approximate position of the coding regions of the bovine genes were established. Two genes, bovine Ha-ras 1 and 2, both show an arrangement of exons and introns typical of c-Ha-ras genes. However, they are distinct entities as they have different nucleotide sequences and physical maps, and heteroduplexes between them contain a region of non-homology upstream of exon 1. The third gene, c-Ha-ras 3, does not contain introns and is a pseudogene, analogous to human c-Ha-ras 2. The nucleotide sequence of both Ha-ras 1 and Ha-ras 2 has been determined and shows that Ha-ras 1 encodes a bona fide ras protein, whereas Ha-ras 2 has diverged considerably from a recognizably functional sequence.
