The structure of the 42-kilobase (kb) long chicken progesterone receptor (cPR) gene and of all six transcripts that are detectable on Northern blots was determined. The first of 8 exons encodes the N-terminal region A/B which is highly divergent among different species and contains a constitutive transcription activation function. The DNA (DBD)- and hormone-binding domains (HBD) are assembled from 2 and 5 exons, respectively, with the individual "zinc fingers" of the DBD encoded by separate exons. In addition to the previously described 4.5-kb cPR mRNA species, alternative polyadenylation, splicing variation, and "5'-truncation" lead to the generation of 5 further mRNAs. Most importantly, this 5'-truncation produces, by an as yet unidentified mechanism, an abundant transcript which encodes form A but not form B of cPR. Lack of splicing at the exon 2 splice-donor and polyadenylation due to a signal site in the second intron generates a previously undetected 3.4-kb mRNA species. The corresponding cDNA was sequenced in its entirety and shown to encode only region A/B and the N-terminal "finger" of the DBD. Alternative polyadenylation upstream of the signal site for the 4.5-kb mRNA is responsible for the appearance of a 3.3-kb mRNA. The longest cPR mRNA (8.2 kb) originates from a transcription termination point more than 3 kb downstream of the 4.5-kb mRNA 3'-end. Finally, the primary sequence of more than 2 kb upstream sequences of the cPR gene, containing several consensus hexamer progestin/glucocorticoid receptor-binding sites (PRE/GRE and putative Sp1 binding motifs, is discussed.
