A human ribosomal protein S17 cDNA [Chen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83 (1986) 6907-6911] was used to isolate four S17 DNA clones from human genomic libraries constructed in bacteriophage lambda and cosmid vectors. Based on its transcriptional activity in a transient expression assay and on sequence similarity with S17 cDNA, cosmid clone HGS17-6 was identified as carrying the functional RPS17 gene. RPS17 is composed of five exons and four introns that span 4 kb of DNA. Two lambda clones of human genomic DNA were recognized as containing processed S17 pseudogenes, because (i) they were transcriptionally inactive in the transient assay, and (ii) they possess multiple, perfectly spliced RPS17 exons. Their coding sequences differ slightly from the cDNA and functional genomic clone.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007438 Introns Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D003360 Cosmids Plasmids containing at least one cos (cohesive-end site) of PHAGE LAMBDA. They are used as cloning vehicles. Cosmid
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004274 DNA, Recombinant Biologically active DNA which has been formed by the in vitro joining of segments of DNA from different sources. It includes the recombination joint or edge of a heteroduplex region where two recombining DNA molecules are connected.
