The 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of the estrogen receptor (ER) mRNA in the rat liver was analyzed by the use of the 5'-rapid amplification of the cDNA ends (5'-RACE) method. The nucleotide sequence of one of the positive RACE clones (clone 9) revealed that the existence of the novel untranslated first exon (termed "exon N") being spliced onto the exon 1 of the rat ER mRNA. We further analyzed the distribution of the ER mRNA containing the "exon 0N" (ER mRNA (0N-1)) and the ER mRNA containing the previously reported exon 0 (ER mRNA (0-1)) in the rat brain and peripheral tissues. In contrast to the wide distribution of the ER mRNA (0-1), the distribution of the ER mRNA (0N-1) was almost limited in the peripheral tissues. These results indicate that the "exon 0N" is the novel untranslated first exon of the rat ER gene, and the tissue specific expression of the ER is regulated, at least in part, by differential promoter usage in the rat.

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.
