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.
在克隆于重组质粒的互补DNA插入片段上,测定了布氏锥虫三种不同变异表面糖蛋白信使核糖核酸完整3'末端区域的对应序列。这三个序列在3'末端显示出80 - 130个碱基对长的强同源片段(70 - 80%),而在最后130 - 140个碱基对上游的区域没有明显同源性。几乎所有已知真核生物多聚腺苷酸化信使核糖核酸3'末端附近存在的信号AAUAAA,在这三个变异体的3'末端序列中未出现。
