Abstract:We previously reported the isolation of two partial cDNA clones encoding human acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF). The nucleotide (nt) sequence throughout the coding region and the deduced amino acid sequence were presented [Jaye et al., Science 233 (1986) 541-545]. In this report, the isolation of additional aFGF cDNA clones and their nt sequence are presented. The human aFGF gene is shown to encode at least four functional polyadenylation sites and multiple regulatory sequences within the 3'-untranslated region. The aFGF open reading frame resides approx. 3100 bp upstream from the most frequently utilized 3' processing and polyadenylation site. Several less abundant cDNA clones provide evidence of polyadenylation at three less distal sites, which are colinear with genomic DNA. Northern-blot analysis reveals three detectable mRNA species, whose sizes and intensities correlate with the length and relative abundance of cDNA clones representing them.
