摘要: Abstract The gene for rat cholecystokinin (CCK) was isolated from a genomic DNA library. transcription unit spans 7 kilobases and is interrupted by two introns. initiator methionine codon lies 2 bases into exon 2; therefore, 1 noncoding exon. initiation site determined using avian myeloblastosis reverse transcriptase, cDNA primer, mRNA medullary thyroid carcinoma. A "TATA"-like sequence precedes the at position -34. polyadenylation mapped nuclease protection assay cRNA generated of 3 region CCK with SP6 bacteriophage RNA polymerase. AT-TAAA found 22 5' to be addition site. Two regions simple repetitive occur within lambda clone, one intron other 4 3' gene. Sequence analysis element distal revealed copies 5'-(AC)n-3', where n 25. 114-base pair predominantly repeating purine-pyrimidine nucleotides separates these d(AC) repeats. Transcriptional control elements were investigated fusing structural encoding chloramphenicol acetyltransferase. Promoter activity transfecting COS-7 cells plasmids containing fusions, followed determining acetyltransferase in cellular extracts. necessary expression fusions 144 transcription.
