Abstract excerpt
Splicing of exons 2 and 3 of a-tropomyosin (TM) involves mutually exclusive selection of either exon 3, which occurs in most cells, or of exon 2 in smooth muscle (SM) cells. The SM-specific selection of exon 2 results from the inhibition of exon 3. At least two essential cis-acting elements are required for exon 3 inhibition, the upstream and downstream regulatory elements (URE and DRE). These elements are...
