Alternative splicing of Rh blood group polypeptide mRNA produces a novel transcript containing a short nucleotide insertion on human erythroleukemia K562 cells.

Abstract excerpt

A novel isoform of the human Rh blood group polypeptide cDNA was isolated from human erythroleukemic K562 cells. This isoform was produced by deletion of the sequences derived from exons 2 and 3 of the RHCE gene and insertion of 44-bp into the resulting junction between exon 1 and 4 derived sequence. The deduced amino acid sequence revealed that the 44-bp insertion sequence contains an in-frame stop codon that...
