  • Title: Characterization of the Syrian hamster c-Ha-ras gene and intron-D-exon transcript.

    Abstract:
    The coding sequences as well as 5'- and 3'-flanking sequences of the Syrian hamster c-Ha-ras gene were deduced from cDNA clones derived from embryo fibroblast cell lines. Sequences of introns B, C, and D were obtained from genomic DNA after amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. Sequence comparisons with rat, mouse, and human c-Ha-ras genes revealed a high degree of homology. One of 12 cDNA clones contained intron-D-exon (IDX) sequences due to alternative splicing that would encode a p19 Ha-ras gene product. Conservation between species suggests a functional role for the IDX, possibly as a negative control of p21 Ha-ras expression.
