The prostate-specific TCRγ transcript. (A) Schematic of the TCRγ locus and how the prostate TCRγ is transcribed and spliced in prostate cells. The transcript consists of a Jγ1.2 segment, three Cγ1 exons, and an untranslated region. (B) Nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the prostate-specific TCRγ transcript. The full-length transcript is shown starting with the transcription start site and ending with the polyadenylation signal. Arrows above the corresponding nucleotides indicate exon boundaries. The predicted amino acid sequences for two potential ORFs are noted in bold or italics. Potential initiation methionines are underlined and stop codons are outlined.
