Homologous 3'-terminal regions of mRNAs for surface antigens of different antigenic variants of Trypanosoma brucei.
Nucleic Acids Res. 1981; (18): 4745-53
Sequences corresponding to the complete 3'-terminal regions of the messenger RNAs for three different Variant Surface Glycoproteins of Trypanosoma brucei were determined on complementary DNA inserts cloned in recombinant plasmids. The three sequences show 80-130 base pair long segments of strong (70-80%) homology at the 3' ends, whereas ther regions upstream from the last 130-140 base pairs contain no significant homology. The signal AAUAAA, present near the 3' ends of almost all known polyadenylated mRNAs of eukaryotes, does not occur in the 3'-terminal sequences of these three variants.
