Figure 10

Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of 7 major transcripts belonging to 3 types of recessive white chickens that were isolated by RACE and compared with the published Tyrosinase cDNA sequence. All of these 7 transcripts had normal exon 1 to exon 4 sequences but lacked the exon 5 sequence. A short sequence (from 124 bp to 140 bp) of intron 4 replaced the exon 5 sequence followed by a polyA tail. The exon 4 sequence is shown in grey color. Three putative polyadenylation signals ATATAAA, AGATAAA and ATATAAA in the intron 4 sequence are shown in boxes. For each transcript, the proposed polyadenylation signal is shown in the red box. The predicted amino acid sequence is shown below the nucleotide sequence.
