A point mutation uncouples RNA 3'-end formation and termination during ribosomal gene transcription in Xenopus laevis.

Labhart P, Reeder R H

Abstract excerpt

Two sites, T2 and T3, in the ribosomal gene spacer of Xenopus laevis both direct RNA 3'-end formation 15 bp upstream of the conserved box sequence GACTTGC. Site T2, which defines the 3' end of the 40S precursor, does not terminate transcription whereas site T3 at the 3' end of the spacer does. He...
