  • Title: Conserved and unique sequences in the 3'-untranslated region of rat smooth-muscle alpha-actin mRNA.
    Author: Hsu CY, Frankel FR.
    Journal: Gene; 1988 Sep 30; 69(2):345-8. PubMed ID: 3234770.
    Abstract:
    We have isolated a cDNA clone corresponding to rat smooth-muscle alpha-actin mRNA [Hsu and Frankel, J. Biol. Chem. 262 (1987) 9594-9600]. We present here the sequence of the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the cDNA. By comparison with the reported sequence of the chicken gene, this 3'-UTR region contains a conserved 36-bp sequence and a unique 48-bp G + C-rich sequence. An RNA probe containing only the 3'-UTR of the cDNA was synthesized and shown to be specific for smooth-muscle alpha-actin message.
