    Abstract

    The structural organization of the X-linked gene for the E1 alpha subunit of the human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex has been determined by restriction endonuclease mapping and DNA sequence analysis of overlapping genomic clones. The gene is approximately 17 kilobase pairs long. It contains 11 exons ranging from 61 to 174 base pairs and introns ranging from 600 base pairs to 5.7 kilobase pairs. All the splice donor and acceptor sites conform to the GT/AG rule. The transcription initiation site was determined by S1 nuclease mapping. The DNA sequence around this site is very GC-rich. A "TATA box"-like sequence and a "CAAT box"-like sequence are present 24 and 113 bases upstream from the cap site, respectively. Also upstream from the cap site are several sets of inverted repeats, direct repeats, several sequences resembling the transcription factor Sp1 binding site, a glucocorticoid-responsive element, and two cAMP receptor binding sites.
