The repeated mini-exon sequence that encodes the first 35 base pairs of all variant surface antigen mRNAs of Trypanosoma brucei directs the synthesis of a discrete 137-nucleotide transcript. It thus seems that variant surface antigen mRNAs are transcribed discontinuously, and we present two alternative models for how this might occur.
编码布氏锥虫所有可变表面抗原mRNA前35个碱基对的重复小外显子序列指导合成一种离散的137个核苷酸的转录本。因此,可变表面抗原mRNA似乎是间断转录的,我们提出了两种关于其可能发生方式的替代模型。
