The repressor sequence upstream of c-mos acts neither as polyadenylation site nor as transcription termination region.

چکیده
Recently we reported that the c-mos(rat) coding region is preceded by sequences (RIS) which repress accumulation of c-mos RNA in the cytoplasm. To investigate the effect of RIS on RNA transcription or processing a retroviral promoter was inserted at different positions relative to RIS. Cotransfection was used to establish cell lines with high copy number of the plasmids and to avoid any selection for c-mos expression or RIS function. Analysis of RNA in the cell lines indicated that RIS does not provide a poly(A) site and allowed characterization of the c-mos(rat) poly(A) site. Surprisingly, RIS contains sequences homologous to elements involved in eucaryotic RNA cleavage/polyadenylation. To determine an effect of RIS on transcription, RNA was elongated in vitro in nuclei isolated from the cell lines and used to analyze the number of RNA polymerase II molecules transcribing different regions of the plasmid. The analysis showed that RIS does not act as transcription termination region.

Identification of a candidate c-mos repressor that restricts transcription of germ cell-specific genes.
The c-mos proto-oncogene is specifically expressed in female and male germ cells. Previous studies identified a negative regulatory element (NRE) upstream of the c-mos promoter that suppresses c-mos transcription in transfected NIH 3T3 cells. In this study, we used gel shift assays to detect proteins in nuclear extracts of NIH 3T3 cells that bind to the c-mos NRE in a sequence-specific manner. ...
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 کاملThe yeast FBP1 poly(A) signal functions in both orientations and overlaps with a gene promoter.
This report provides an analysis of a region of chromosome XII in which the FBP1 and YLR376c genes transcribe in the same direction. Our investigation indicates that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae FBP1 gene contains strong signals for polyadenylation and transcription termination in both orientations in vivo . A (TA)14 element plays a major role in directing polyadenylation in both orientations. ...
متن کاملIdentification of transcription stop sites at the 5' and 3' ends of the murine adenosine deaminase gene.
We report here the identification and nucleotide sequence of two transcription termination regions associated with the murine adenosine deaminase gene. One region is situated within or very near exon one and in mouse fibroblasts accounts for more than a 50-fold drop in the abundance of nascent transcripts. This termination region is believed to be involved in the regulation of adenosine deamina...
متن کاملTranscription 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...
