Structural organization and chromosomal localization of the human ribosomal protein L9 gene

Cloning, Sequencing, Gene Organization, and Localization of the Human Ribosomal Protein RPL23A Gene

“…2A). The 5 untranslated region (UTR) is 21 nt and contains an oligopyrimidine tract, CTTTTC, which has been found in most of other mammalian rp genes (Mazuruk et al, 1996). The translation start codon occurs in the context AAGATGG, which does not significantly depart from the optimum ACCATGG (Kozak, 1986) (Suzuki and Wool, 1993 Fig.…”

“…The first one is the oligopyrimidine piece of evidence. Since NF1-like proteins are a group tract, CTTTTC, located in the 5 UTR, which has been of heterogeneous trans-acting factors, some may be found in 17 human rp genes and 8 murine rp genes to ubiquitously expressed in a variety of tissues (Lichtdate (Levy et al, 1991;Mazuruk et al, 1996). The secsteiner et al, 1987;Lijam and Sussman, 1995) and ond is the polyadenylation signal located in the 3 UTR.…”

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a Dermatan-specific N-Acetylgalactosamine 4-O-Sulfotransferase

“…Only 2.96 kilobase pairs of sequence separate the 3Ј-UTR of the gene encoding the KIAA0945 protein (GenBank TM accession number AB023162) (30) from the start codon of the D4ST-1 gene. Downstream of the D4ST-1 locus, we identified a copy of the gene encoding the ribosomal protein L9 (GenBank TM accession number BC004156) that probably represents a pseudogene (31). An analysis of splice sites directly upstream of the start codon of D4ST-1 with a minimum score of 0.9 determined the nearest 3Ј/acceptor splice site to be 532 bp upstream (analysis performed with Splice Site Prediction as available at the Berkeley Drosophila Genome project Web site).…”

Genomic structure and chromosome location of RPL27A/<i>Rpl27a,</i> the genes encoding human and mouse ribosomal protein L27A

“…2). The putative first exons of RPL27A/Rpl27a contained oligopyrimidine tracts with the consensus sequence CTTTC or a close approximation CTTTTC found in the transcriptional start sites of most other r-protein genes (Mazuruk et al, 1996). The translational start codon ATG separated from the major exons was also found in the human r-protein L7A (Colombo et al, 1991), and its mouse (Colombo and Fried, 1992) and chicken (Maeda et al, 1993) homologous genes, and the human RPS26 gene (Filipenko et al, 1998), but its functional role remains to be determined.…”
