A catalogue of splice junction sequences

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.

Nucleotide sequence of a cloned duck hepatitis B virus genome: comparison with woodchuck and human hepatitis B virus sequences.
TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of an EcoRI duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) clone was elucidated by using the Maxam and Gilbert method and showed that DHBV is derived from an ancestor common to the two others but has a slightly different genomic organization.

Molecular organization and embryonic expression of the hedgehog gene involved in cell-cell communication in segmental patterning of Drosophila.

TL;DR: Sequence analysis of the hedgehog locus suggests the protein product is a transmembrane protein, which may, therefore, be directly involved in cell-cell communication.

TL;DR: Analysis of the human neuronal NO synthase locus reveals a complex genomic organization and mRNA diversity that is both allelic and structural, and diversity appears to represent a major theme apparent upon analysis of human neuronal No synthase mRNA transcripts.

An alternative dystrophin transcript specific to peripheral nerve.
TL;DR: A 5.2 kilobase transcript is described, expressed specifically in peripheral nerve, that initiates at a previously unrecognized exon located ∼850 basepairs upstream of dystrophin exon 56, arguing that it functions differently in the Schwann cell than does the major dystophin transcript in muscle.

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

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.
