Abstract excerpt
A 6-nucleotide insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region of the thymidylate synthase gene was shown to influence mRNA stability, but the molecular basis of this effect has not been elucidated. Here, studies of both endogenous and ectopically expressed thymidylate synthase alleles revealed that the mRNA-binding, decay-promoting protein AUF1 has higher affinity for allele D mRNA. AUF1...
