Alternative transcription and two modes of splicing results in two myosin light chains from one gene

Y Nabeshima et al. Nature. 1984 Mar.

Abstract

Chicken skeletal muscle myosin alkali light chains are encoded by a single gene of size 18 kilobases (kb). This gene has two transcription initiation sites from which 17.5- and 8-kb precursor RNAs are transcribed. These RNAs are processed by different modes of splicing to form mRNAs encoding distinct light-chain (LC1 and LC3) proteins.
