Abstract excerpt

Three sequences in the vicinity of poly (A) addition sites are conserved among vertebrate mRNAs. We analyze the effects of single base changes in each position of AAUAAA and in the nucleotide to which poly (A) is added on 3' end formation in vitro. All 18 possible single base changes of the AAUAA...
