摘要
From a rat genomic library in phage λCharon4A, a complete glutamine synthetase-encoding gene was isolated. The gene is 9.5-10 kb long, consists of seven exons, and codes for two mRNA species of 1375 nucleotides (nt) and 2787 nt, respectively. For both mRNAs, full-lenght cDNAs containing a short poly(A) tract were identified. The sequences of the entire mRNA and of the exon-intron transitions were determined. The smaller mRNA is identical to the 5′ 1375 nt of the long mRNA and contains the entire protein-coding region. The position of the transcription start point was mapped. Within the first 118 bp of promoter sequence, a (T)ATAA-box, a CCAAT-box and an SP1-binding site were identified. © 1990.
