Abstract excerpt
One major determinant of rapid mRNA decay is the presence of AU-rich sequences located in 3' untranslated regions (UTR). To assess for the contribution of upstream sequences on the activity of the 3' AU-rich destabilizing element, we have determined the decay-rates of v-/c-fos hybrid transcripts by quantitative RNA protection analysis. In a transient expression assay, v-/c-fos recombinants generated two mRNA...
