We have characterized the upstream nucleotide sequences involved in mRNA 3'-end
formation in the 3'regions of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 19S/35S transcription unit …

Once transcribed, most eukaryotic mRN As receive a poly (A) tail at their 3'ends through a
process involving the cleavage of precursor RNA and the concomitant polymerization of …

The requirement for sequence specificity in the AAUAAA motif of the cauliflower mosaic virus
(CaMV) polyadenylation signal was examined by saturation mutagenesis. While deletion of …

The following aspects of mRNA 3′ end formation, an important process in gene expression
in eukaryotic cells which initiates transcription termination, are reviewed: the structure of …

We have conducted an extensive linker substitution analysis of the polyadenylation signal
from a pea rbcS gene. From these studies, we can identify at least two, and perhaps three …

Poly (A) tracts are a nearly ubiquitous feature of mRNAs in eukaryotes. The poly (A) tail is an
important determinant of the function of a eukaryotic mRNA, because it is intimately involved …

The polyadenylation signal of a pea gene for the small subunit of ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate
carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcS) has been analyzed by deletion mutagenesis and Ti plasmid …

Our understanding of how the 3′ ends of mRNAs are formed in plants is rudimentary
compared to what we know about this process in other eukaryotes. The salient features of …

We show that the polyadenylation site derived from the plant cauliflower mosaic virus
(CaMV) is specifically functional in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mRNA …

Messenger RNA 3′ end formation is an integral step in the process that gives rise to
mature, translated messenger RNAs in eukaryotes. With this step, a premessenger RNA is …
