A catalogue of splice junction sequences
3.8K
TL;DR: The sequence CAAG/GTAGAGT was found to be a consensus of 139 exon-intron boundaries (or donor sequences) and (TC)nNCTAG/G was found of 130 intron-exon boundaries ( or acceptor sequences).

Abstract: Splice junction sequences from a large number of nuclear and viral genes encoding protein have been collected. The sequence CAAG/GTAGAGT was found to be a consensus of 139 exon-intron boundaries (or donor sequences) and (TC)nNCTAG/G was found to be a consensus of 130 intron-exon boundaries (or acceptor sequences). The possible role of splice junction sequences as signals for processing is discussed.

The gene family encoding the mouse ribosomal protein L32 contains a uniquely expressed intron-containing gene and an unmutated processed gene
Kalin P. Dudov,Robert P. Perry +1 more
TL;DR: The family of approximately 16 genes encoding the mouse ribosomal protein L32 has been characterized by an analysis of a representative set of genomic clones and surprisingly, this family contains only a single expressed intron-containing gene.

Isolation and structural organization of the human preproenkephalin gene
Masaharu Noda,Yutaka Teranishi,Hideo Takahashi,Mitsuyoshi Toyosato,Mitsue Notake,Shigetada Nakanishi,Shosaku Numa +6 more
TL;DR: The amino acid sequence homology observed between preproenkephalin B and preproinjector A suggests that the two genes have been generated from a common ancestor by gene duplication.

Structural analysis of the sequence coding for an inducible 26-kDa protein in human fibroblasts.
TL;DR: It turns out that the 26-kDa protein gene and the so-called 'IFN-beta 2' gene are identical, however, extensive homology searches indicate that the 25-k da protein does not show statistically significant sequence homology with any known interferon species.
DNA sequence and genome organization of genital human papillomavirus type 6b.

TL;DR: By sequence comparison, potential promoter, splicing and polyadenylation signals can be localized in HPV6b DNA suggesting possible mechanisms of genital papillomavirus gene expression.

The nucleotide sequence of the chick cytoplasmic β-actin gene
TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of the chick beta-actin gene was determined and it was found that the gene lacks the Cys codon between the initiator ATG and the codon for the N-terminal amino acid of the mature protein.

Are snRNPs involved in splicing
TL;DR: Several lines of evidence are presented that suggest a direct involvement of snRNPs in the splicing of hnRNA molecules, including the observation that the nucleotide sequence at the 5′ end of U1 RNA exhibits extensive complementarity to those across splice junctions in hn RNA molecules.

Ovalbumin gene: evidence for a leader sequence in mRNA and DNA sequences at the exon-intron boundaries.
TL;DR: Selected regions of cloned EcoRI fragments of the chicken ovalbumin gene have been sequenced, and a previously unreported interruption in the DNA sequences coding for the 5' nontranslated region of the messenger has been discovered.

Sequence of the human insulin gene
Graeme I. Bell,Raymond Pictet,William J. Rutter,Barbara Cordell,Edmund Tischer,Howard M. Goodman +5 more
TL;DR: A comparison of the human with the rat insulin genes indicates potential regulatory regions in the DNA segment preceding the gene and suggests that the ancestral form of the insulin gene had two intervening sequences.

Cloned human and mouse kappa immunoglobulin constant and J region genes conserve homology in functional segments.
TL;DR: The procedure to clone the human kappa chain genes in both germline and rearranged configurations is described and four human J regions are identified that are much more stringently conserved throughout their coding sequences than are the C region genes.
