  • Title: Isolation of cDNA clones for mouse cytoskeletal gamma-actin and differential expression of cytoskeletal actin mRNAs in mouse cells.
    Author: Tokunaga K, Takeda K, Kamiyama K, Kageyama H, Takenaga K, Sakiyama S.
    Journal: Mol Cell Biol; 1988 Sep; 8(9):3929-33. PubMed ID: 3221869.
    Abstract:
    We described the structures of mouse cytoskeletal gamma-actin cDNA clones and showed that there is strong conservation of the untranslated regions with human gamma-actin cDNA. In addition, we found that the expression levels of beta- and gamma-actin mRNAs are differentially controlled in various mouse tissues and cell types but are coordinately increased in the cellular growing state. These results suggest that there are multiple regulatory mechanisms of cytoskeletal actin genes and are consistent with the argument that beta- and gamma-actins might have functional diversity in mammalian cells.
