Three regions upstream from the cap site are required for efficient and accurate transcription of the rabbit beta-globin gene in mouse 3T6 cells. 1983

P Dierks, and A van Ooyen, and M D Cochran, and C Dobkin, and J Reiser, and C Weissmann

Cloned rabbit beta-globin genes, modified in vitro by restructuring or site-directed mutagenesis, were introduced into mouse 3T6 cells, and the resulting transcripts were analyzed by nuclease S1 mapping. The first 109 bp preceding the cap site sufficed for maximal beta-globin transcription. This segment contained three functionally important regions of the ATA box region; the CCAAT box region; and the -100 region. The latter consists of an imperfect tandemly repeated sequence of 14 bp and 15 bp, both copies of which are required for optimal promoter function. Each of three regions contains two or more nucleotide positions where the introduction of point mutations reduces transcription by at least a factor of 2.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009876 Operon In bacteria, a group of metabolically related genes, with a common promoter, whose transcription into a single polycistronic MESSENGER RNA is under the control of an OPERATOR REGION. Operons
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012315 RNA Caps Nucleic acid structures found on the 5' end of eukaryotic cellular and viral messenger RNA and some heterogeneous nuclear RNAs. These structures, which are positively charged, protect the above specified RNAs at their termini against attack by phosphatases and other nucleases and promote mRNA function at the level of initiation of translation. Analogs of the RNA caps (RNA CAP ANALOGS), which lack the positive charge, inhibit the initiation of protein synthesis. RNA Cap,5' Capped RNA,5' mRNA Cap Structure,Cap, RNA,Caps, RNA,RNA, 5' Capped
