The sequence of gene arrays contained within 2P. cariniicosmids, 3G5 and 1B2, were determined. The DNA in 3G5 begins with 4 presumptive genes (open reading frame (ORF) 1,Nmp, Map, and ORF2) that appeared to be unique because they hybridized to the same chromosome which was approx. 315 kb in size. Following ORF2 is a 1 kb region that matches the 3′ ends of major surface glycoprotein (MSG) genes. The 1 kb MSG-like region marks the beginning of the repeated region of the 3G5 insert. After this comes a cluster of genes containing members of the 3 repeated gene families. The end of the gene cluster is marked by subtelomeric DNA which is followed by a short stretch of telomere. The genome segment carried by cosmids 11H12 and 1B2 overlaps. The repeated gene cluster begins with an MSG-related (MSR) gene, followed by a protease 1 (PRT1) gene, which is followed by an MSR and an MSG, but then there is a 2nd PRT1 gene. Like 3G5, which carried one incomplete MSG gene, 1B2 carries 2 segments of DNA that appear to be segments of either MSR or MSG genes. Following the first MSR gene is a sequence resembling the 5′ end of an MSG gene. The accession numbers for the cosmid sequences are AL592382 and AL592263 for cosmids 3G5 and 1B2, respectively.
