Retinoic acid control of GluR1 translation. a Alignment of 5′ UTR sequences of human and GluR1 mRNA. The RARα consensus binding sites identified previously by Poon and Chen using SELEX are underlined and in bold. b Partial sequence of the pTK1 construct showing the SV40 promotor shaded in yellow, the GluR1 5′ UTR shaded in blue, and the beginning of the firefly luciferase open reading frame in green. The RARα consensus binding sites are in red and underlined, while vector sequence is unshaded
