Abstract

The rabbit alpha-globin DNA insertion in the chimeric plasmid pHb 72 (Liu et al., 1977) has been sequenced by the method of Maxam and Gilbert (1977). This has enabled us to determine the messenger RNA(mRNA) sequence beginning in the 5' untranslated region 9 nucleotides before the initiation codon and extending through the first 361 nucleotides of the translated region. The data reported here overlap and are in complete agreement with sequences determined by Baralle (1977) for the 5' end of the mRNA and by Proudfoot et al. (1977) for the 3' end. Our sequence is also in agreement with the partial complementary RNA (cRNA) sequencing data which we reported previously (Paddock et al., 1977), this work marks the completion of the primary sequence of the rabbit alpha-globin mRNA. These observations reaffirm the high fidelity with which gene copies can be synthesized in vitro, cloned in a bacterial plasmid and maintained in the host. The general features of the mRNA nucleotide sequence are duscussed with particular attention given to the base composition and codon preferences observed and to comparison of this sequence with other completed mRNA gene sequences. A new computer program has been used to search for the most stable base-pair...Continue Reading
