Abstract excerpt
The formation of the 3' end of vertebrate small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) requires that transcription initiate from an snRNA promoter. There is a loosely conserved required box 5 to 20 nucleotides (nt) 3' of the gene. The sea urchin snRNA genes contain promoter elements different from those of the vertebrate snRNAs. They also contain a characteristic 3' 15-nt sequence which is conserved among different sea urchin...
