Abstract

A part of the 3′-flanking region of BP-II gene, which is one of Trimeresurus flavoviridis venom gland phospholopase A 2 (PLA 2) isozyme genes, has a region homologous to avian chicken repeat 1 (CR1)-element. In the present study, ten CR1-like elements were further identified in T. gramineus venom gland PLA 2 isozyme genes, T. flavoviridis PLA 2 inhibitor (PLI) genes, and T. flavoviridis and T. gramineus TATA-box binding protein (TBP) genes. Southern blot analysis using a probe for CR1 showed that Crotalinae snake genomes contain a number of CR1-like elements.
