The metallothionein (MT) I and II genes were isolated from Chinese hamster cells and sequenced. The MT-II gene is located about 6 kb upstream of the MT-I gene and their arrangement is similar to those of the mouse and rat MT genes. The sequence of the Chinese hamster MT-I gene is highly homologous to those of the mouse and rat, particularly in their promoter regions of MT-I. However, the promoter region of MT-II has less homology with those of the mouse and rat due t to insertions and deletions. The MT-I and MT-II genes were equally amplified 4-8-times in the Cd-resistant Chinese hamster cells, suggesting that both genes are included in the same amplification unit. Cytogenetic analysis of Cd-resistant cells by in situ hybridization showed that they are randomly integrated into multiple sites on the chromosomes.
