Abstract excerpt
The sequences directing formation of mRNA 3' ends in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are not well defined. This is in contrast to the situation in higher eukaryotes in which the sequence AAUAAA is known to be crucial to proper 3'-end formation. The AAUAAA hexanucleotide is found upstream of the poly(A) site in some but not all yeast genes. One of these is the gene coding for alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH2. Deletion or a...
