Promoter-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...
متن کاملSpacing requirements for Class I transcription activation in bacteria are set by promoter elements
The Escherichia coli cAMP receptor protein (CRP) activates transcription initiation at many promoters by binding upstream of core promoter elements and interacting with the C-terminal domain of the RNA polymerase α subunit. Previous studies have shown stringent spacing is required for transcription activation by CRP. Here we report that this stringency can be altered by the nature of different ...
متن کاملPromoter proximal splice sites enhance transcription.
Reconstruction of a gene with its introns removed results in reduced levels of cytoplasmic mRNA. This is partly explained by introns promoting the export of mRNA through coupling splicing to nuclear export processes. However, we show here that splicing signals can have a direct role in enhancing gene transcription. Removal of promoter proximal splice signals from a mammalian gene or the excisio...
متن کاملCooperation between structural elements in hormono-regulated transcription from the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter.
The mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter is under the control of several types of regulatory agents. The proximal promoter within the long terminal repeat (LTR), from -200 to the CAP site and its regulation by steroid hormones have been extensively studied. However the precise role of sequences located upstream of this region remain unclear. We have constructed MMTV LTR deletion mutants co...
متن کاملTemporal and spatial control of murine GATA-3 transcription by promoter-proximal regulatory elements.
GATA-3 is expressed in a temporally dynamic manner and fulfills vital functions during vertebrate fetal development. Homozygous mGATA-3 mutant embryos die at midgestation, thus complicating the analysis of its contribution to the development of specific cell fates in the many tissues where it is expressed during embryogenesis. We show here that the elements controlling GATA-3 regulation can be ...
