title: Analysis of the mouse MAP1B gene identifies a highly conserved 4.3 kb 3' untranslated region and provides evidence against the proposed structure of DBI-1 cDNA.
abstract: We determined the previously unknown 3' end of MAP1B mRNA. We found an unusually long and highly conserved 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of 4.3 kb and detected a polymorphism in the 3' flanking region probably due to the integration of an endogenous retroviral MuERV-L element. Furthermore, we found that MAP1B 3'UTR overlapped with the 5' end of the cDNA encoding DBI-1. However, further analysis suggested that the published structure of DBI-1 cDNA is most likely the result of fortuitous joining of unrelated cDNA fragments during cloning.
