5'-Terminal sequence of the mRNA of mouse whey acidic protein contains three possible sites of interaction with 18S rRNA.
The mRNA sequence of whey acidic protein, a major mouse milk protein, was cloned in full length. The sequence analysis of the cDNA clones revealed that the mRNA contains a 28 nucleotide-long 5'-noncoding region. Three different portions of this region were identified as possible sites of interaction with the 3'-end of 18S rRNA that may facilitate efficient rate of translation of the mRNA.
