The mouse genomic clone for the prealbumin (transthyretin) gene was cloned, and its
upstream regulatory regions were analyzed. The 200 nucleotides 5′ to the cap site when …

The complete nucleotide sequence of a strain of hepatitis B virus, originally isolated from a
naturally infected chimpanzee, has been determined. Interesting features of the sequence …

Several recent studies have shown that a functional poly (A) site consists of both an
AAUAAA element as well as sequences downstream of the cleavage site. Two downstream …

Most genetic elements that employ reverse transcription generate a terminally redundant
genomic RNA that serves as the template for this reaction. Because the identical …

The polyadenylation signal for the late mRNAs of simian virus 40 is known to have
sequence elements located both upstream and downstream of the AAUAAA which affect …

A gene encoding the small subunit of ribulose 1, 5‐bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcS) in
wheat, a monocot plant, was transferred to tobacco, a dicot plant. The wheat gene is not …

Incubation of SP6 generated mouse histone H4 mRNA precursors in nuclear extracts of
HeLa cells yields processed mRNA species which end on the 3′ adenosine of the …

Abstract The 5′ and 3′ ends of HIV-1 transcripts are identical in sequence. This repeat
region (R) folds a stem-loop structure that is termed the poly (A) hairpin because it contains …

We have constructed a series of plasmids containing multiple polyadenylation signals
downstream of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV) thymidine kinase (tk)-coding region …

We have constructed 14 independent point mutations in the conserved AAUAAA element of
the SV40 late polyadenylation signal in order to study the recognition and function of …
