Sequence elements in both the intergenic space and the 3' untranslated region of the Crithidia fasciculata KAP3 gene are required for cell cycle regulation of KAP3 mRNA.

Abstract excerpt

mRNA levels of several Crithidia fasciculata genes involved in DNA metabolism have previously been found to cycle as cells progress through the cell cycle. Octamer consensus sequences in the 5' untranslated regions (5' UTRs) of these transcripts were shown to be required for cycling of these mRNAs. The KAP3 gene encodes a kinetoplast histone H1-like DNA binding protein, and its mRNA levels cycle in parallel with...
