Abstract excerpt
The genes that encode the small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are unusual RNA polymerase II transcription units in that 5'-flanking DNA sequences more than 50 base pairs upstream of snRNA genes are essential for specifying the transcription initiation site. The relevant cis-acting DNA sequence, termed the proximal sequence element (PSE), is required for both transcription initiation and 3'-end formation of snRNAs. We...
