We have cloned and sequenced the 5' untranslated region of the transforming growth factor-beta 3 (TGF-beta 3) mRNA as well as the adjacent genomic sequence. S1 nuclease analysis identified a single transcription start site. We have thus determined that the 5' untranslated region is about 1.1 kb long and contains 11 open reading frames. In vitro translation of the TGF-beta 3 precursor coding seq...

purpose: neuromyelitis opitca (nmo) is an autoimmune disease that relates to deposition of anti-aquaporin-4 (aqp4) igg in the central nervous system (cns). however, called seronegative nmo when patients are negative for aqp4 antibody. nevertheless, nmo is most probably an antibody mediated disease. the aim of this study was to assess the association between seronegative nmo disease and variatio...

The nucleotide sequence of creatine kinase-M (CK-M) cDNA clones has been determined. It includes the entire coding region of 381 amino acids in addition to 5' and 3' untranslated regions. A comparison with a partial sequence from rat CK-M reveals 84% nucleotide sequence homology in the coding region but divergence in the 3' untranslated region. The amino acid sequence is 94% conserved between c...

A 31-bp indel localised in the 5' untranslated region of OsSUT3 affects gene expression and rice (Oryza sativa L.) pollen development | Chunlong Zhang, Qiuping Li, Hong Yang, Tuo Wang, Juan Jiancheng Wen, Shoulin Jin, Zhonglin Lijuan Chen, Dandan Li Agricultural Journals

SOURCE AUD DESCRIPTION OF CLONE: The human gastrin gene cDNA insert in clone pHG529 (1) is 463 bp in length. This excludes the poly (dC) tail* and includes 8 nucleotides of 5' untranslated region, the entire coding region of 303 nucleotides, a 3 1 untranslated region of 102 nucleotides and a poly (A) track of 50 residues.

We have investigated whether poly(C)-binding protein (PCBP)-1 and PCBP-2 interact with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) 5' untranslated region. Our results demonstrate that glutathione S-transferase (GST)-PCBP-1 and GST-PCBP-2 fusion proteins bind specifically to the HCV 5' untranslated region. An antiserum raised against PCBP-2 induced a supershift after incubation with RNA-protein complexes formed...
