The structural organization of the entire nuclear gene (NMDMC) encoding the mitochondrial (mt) NAD-dependent methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase enzyme (NMDMC) was determined by analysis of clones obtained from a lambda EMBL3 murine genomic DNA library. The gene is approx. 13 kb in length and contains eight exons and seven introns. All exon/intron splice junctions follow the GT/AG rule. The amino acid presequence, which is essential for transport of the NMDMC enzyme precursor into mt, is encoded almost entirely in the first exon. Two major transcriptional start points (tsp), located 33 and 75 nucleotides upstream from the AUG start codon, were revealed by S1 nuclease mapping and RNase protection analyses. The immediate 5'-flanking region of the first exon contains one CAAT box, a TATA-like box and three sites homologous to the consensus sequence for the binding of transcription factor Sp1.
