Rat cells produce two different transcripts of DNA polymerase beta (beta-Pol). The low-molecular-weight transcript (1.4 kb) was already sequenced. We report here the cloning and sequencing of the full-length cDNA, corresponding to the high-molecular-weight (HMW) transcript (4.0 kb) of beta-Pol. Sequence data strongly suggest that both transcripts are produced from a single gene by alternative polyadenylation. The HMW transcript contains the entire 1.4 kb transcript sequence and additional 2.2 kb on the 3' end. The 3' UTR of the HMW transcript contains some regulatory sequences which are not present in the 1.4-kb transcript. The A + U-rich fragment and (GU)21 sequence are believed to influence the stability of the mRNA. The functional significance of the A-rich region locally destabilizing double-stranded secondary structure remains unknown.

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. Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004256 DNA Polymerase I A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in prokaryotes and may be present in higher organisms. It has both 3'-5' and 5'-3' exonuclease activity, but cannot use native double-stranded DNA as template-primer. It is not inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents and is active in both DNA synthesis and repair.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D017398 Alternative Splicing A process whereby multiple RNA transcripts are generated from a single gene. Alternative splicing involves the splicing together of other possible sets of EXONS during the processing of some, but not all, transcripts of the gene. Thus a particular exon may be connected to any one of several alternative exons to form a mature RNA. The alternative forms of mature MESSENGER RNA produce PROTEIN ISOFORMS in which one part of the isoforms is common while the other parts are different.
