Organization of coding and intervening sequences in the chicken ovalbumin split gene. 1978

J L Mandel, and R Breathnach, and P Gerlinger, and M Le Meur, and F Gannon, and P Chambon

The interruptions in the chicken ovalbumin gene which were reported previously (Breathnach, Mandel and Chambon, 1977) are shown to be due to the presence of intervening sequences which separate the messenger-coding sequences. We present evidence for an additional interruption of the gene, which, together with those reported earlier and by Garapin et al. (1978b), make a total of six intervening sequences. All of these intervening sequences are located in the DNA region that corresponds to the part of the ov mRNA which codes for amino acids. The seven coding fragments of the split ovalbumin gene are arranged in the same order and relative orientation as in the ovalbumin double-stranded cDNA. All the sequences coding for ov mRNA are contained in a chromosomal DNA region of 6000 bp, which is more than 3 times longer than ov mRNA. The general organization of the ovalbumin split gene is discussed.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
