PG - 383-6 AB - As a first step toward clarification of the transcriptional controls of the gene encoding brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), we cloned and sequenced a rat genomic DNA fragment carrying this gene. RNA blotting analysis using a probe derived from the 3'-flanking region of BDNF revealed that alternative use of 3'-polyadenylation sites generates at least two BDNF transcripts that differ in the size of the 3'-noncoding region. Furthermore, sequence analysis of the 5'-end of the BDNF cDNA revealed the presence of at least six different types of transcripts which were probably derived through alternative use of the multiple 5'-exons. Therefore, a single BDNF gene could produce multiple types of transcripts with different noncoding sequences through alternative use of both 5'-exons and 3'-transcription termination sites.
