title: Heterogeneity of mRNA coding for Caenorhabditis elegans coronin-like protein.
abstract: We analyzed transcripts coding for the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans coronin, which had been identified by the genome project of C. elegans. We found that the gene coding for the C. elegans coronin has an alternatively spliced exon containing an alternative 5' splice site in the 3'-region. Moreover, two exons are internally cleaved by a mechanism different from the conventional splicing rules. In consequence, the gene produces five kinds of transcripts.
