Biology of mammalian L1 retrotransposons
EM Ostertag, HH Kazazian Jr - Annual review of genetics, 2001 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract L1 retrotransposons comprise 17% of the human genome. Although most L1s are
inactive, some elements remain capable of retrotransposition. L1 elements have a long …

Polypeptide ligation occurs during post-translational modification of concanavalin A
DM Carrington, A Auffret, DE Hanke - Nature, 1985 - nature.com
Lectins are proteins with multivalent carbohydrate-binding sites, which confer the ability to
agglutinate. The seeds of legumes are particularly rich in lectins, for example, concanavalin …

Molecular analysis of the waxy locus of Zea mays
RB Klösgen, A Gierl, Z Schwarz-Sommer… - Molecular and General …, 1986 - Springer
The structure of the wild-type waxy (wx+) locus was determined by sequence analysis of
both a genomic and an almost full-size cDNA clone. The coding region comprises 3,718 bp …

Putative polyadenylation signals in nuclear genes of higher plants: a compilation and analysis
CP Joshi - Nucleic Acids Research, 1987 - academic.oup.com
In animal and viral pre-mRNAS, the process of polyadenylation is mediated through several
cis-acting poly (A) signals present upstream and downstream from poly (A) sites. The …

The 64-kilodalton subunit of the CstF polyadenylation factor binds to pre-mRNAs downstream of the cleavage site and influences cleavage site location
CC MacDonald, J Wilusz, T Shenk - Molecular and cellular biology, 1994 - Taylor & Francis
The CstF polyadenylation factor is a multisubunit complex required for efficient cleavage and
polyadenylation of pre-mRNAs. Using an RNase H-mediated mapping technique, we show …

Position-dependent sequence elements downstream of AAUAAA are required for efficient rabbit β-globin mRNA 3′ end formation
A Gil, NJ Proudfoot - Cell, 1987 - cell.com
We previously demonstrated that a critical 35 bp region 3'of the AAUAAA is required for
rabbit (3-globln mRNA 3'end formation. Recently, we synthesized and tested sequence …

Alpha‐thalassaemia caused by a poly (A) site mutation reveals that transcriptional termination is linked to 3′ end processing in the human alpha 2 globin gene.
E Whitelaw, N Proudfoot - The EMBO journal, 1986 - embopress.org
We have investigated the process of transcriptional termination in the duplicated human
alpha globin genes which lie 4 kb apart on chromosome 16. In the human erythroleukemic …
