A human genomic cosmid clone, pHcos gamma-1, has been isolated containing two closely linked gamma-crystallin genes, oriented in the same direction. The sequence of these genes and their 5' and 3' flanking regions has been determined. The coding regions of both genes are interrupted by two introns. The first introns (94 and 100 bp, respectively) are located in the 5' region of the genes. The second introns (2.82 and 0.95 kb, respectively) divide the genes into two halves, each encoding a structural domain of the gamma-crystallin protein. The coding regions of the two genes show 80% homology. Due to a mutation in the splice acceptor site of the second intron of the first gene, the coding region of its third exon is 3 bp longer than that of the second gene. In the flanking regions several conserved sequence elements were found, including those elements that are known to be necessary for the correct expression of eukaryotic genes. The flanking and intronic regions of the genes contain 'simple sequence' DNA and Alu repeats. The Alu repeats are usually clustered, contain truncated elements, and are often located near simple sequence DNA.
