Transcription termination and polyadenylation in retroviruses.
The provirus structure of retroviruses is bracketed by long terminal repeats (LTRs). The two LTRs (5' and 3') are identical in nucleotide sequence and organization. They contain signals for transcription initiation as well as termination and cleavage polyadenylation. As in eukaryotic pre-mRNAs, the two common signals, the polyadenylation signal, AAUAAA, or a variant AGUAAA, and the G+U-rich seq...
متن کاملSplice site choice in a complex transcription unit containing multiple inefficient polyadenylation signals.
The relationship between polyadenylation and splicing was investigated in a model system consisting of two tandem but nonidentical polyomavirus late transcription units. This model system exploits the polyomavirus late transcription termination and polyadenylation signals, which are sufficiently weak to allow the production of many multigenome-length primary transcripts with repeating introns, ...
متن کاملHuman microRNA Polyadenylation Signals
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are involved in posttranscriptional gene regulation (cf., Bartel, 2004). First identified in C. elegans just over a decade ago (Lee et al., 1993), miRNAs have been identified in virtually every metazoan and plant species examined. Experimental evidence is rapidly accumulating that shows miRNAs to play key roles in process such as cellular differ...
متن کاملPolyadenylation of vesicular stomatitis virus mRNA dictates efficient transcription termination at the intercistronic gene junctions.
The intercistronic gene junctions of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) contain conserved sequence elements that are important for polyadenylation and transcription termination of upstream transcript as well as reinitiation of transcription of downstream transcript. To examine the role of the putative polyadenylation signal 3'AUACU(7)5' at the gene junctions in polyadenylation and transcription t...
متن کاملPromoter-proximal polyadenylation sites reduce transcription activity.
Gene expression relies on the functional communication between mRNA processing and transcription. We previously described the negative impact of a point-mutated splice donor (SD) site on transcription. Here we demonstrate that this mutation activates an upstream cryptic polyadenylation (CpA) site, which in turn causes reduced transcription. Functional depletion of U1 snRNP in the context of the...
