Abstract excerpt
The present study characterized an embryonic lethal mutation induced by insertion of the U3Neo gene trap retrovirus into an intron of the gene encoding heterogeneous ribonuclear protein U (Hnrnpu), which maps to the distal arm of mouse chromosome 1. Murine hnRNP U was found to be identical to the human protein at all but one of 341 amino acid residues. Embryos homozygous for the provirus showed obvious...
