Gene Messenger RNA : Novel Isoforms That Lack Exon 7
نویسندگان
چکیده
The APC gene at human chromosome 5q21 is responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis coli. Furthermore, sporadic cancers of not only colon but also other digestive organs often contain mutations in the APC gene. A dominant mouse mutation Min that was generated by chemical mutagenesis and causes polyposis in the digestive tract is in the mouse homologue of the human APC gene. The APC mRNA is generated from 15 exons. Two mRNA isoforms were reported which are produced by alternative splicing in the 9th exon. Here, we report novel mRNA isoforms that lack the 7th exon in both mouse and human cells.

متن کاملIdentification of a novel alternatively spliced mRNA of murine pulmonary surfactant protein B.
An alternatively spliced mRNA of pulmonary surfactant protein B (SP-B) was identified in murine lung. Sequencing analysis revealed a 69 base-pair (bp) deletion at the beginning of exon 7 of SP-B, presumably the result of an alternative splicing event. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of mouse, rat, and rabbit lung RNA revealed the existence of full-length and the 69-bp d...
متن کاملSplicing of a retained intron within ROMK K+ channel RNA generates a novel set of isoforms in rat kidney.
The renal outer medulla K+ channel (ROMK) family of K+ channels may constitute a major pathway for K+ secretion in the distal nephron. To date, four main isoforms of this gene have been identified in the rat that differ only in their NH2-terminal amino acids and that share a common "core exon" that determines the remaining protein sequence. Using RT-PCR, we have identified a new set of ROMK iso...

متن کاملQuantitative soform Profiling & Isoform Convergence
Alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing is a crucial step in eukaryotic gene expression, and therefore it is subject to tight regulation. Given its importance in conferring protein diversity, alternative splicing is sensitive to changes in cellular states including malignancy. We present a new paradigm by which to quantitatively study the alternative splicing of any molecule through the presente...
