Inhibition of RNA cleavage but not polyadenylation by a point mutation in mRNA 3′ consensus sequence AAUAAA

Nature volume 305, pages 600–605 (1983)Cite this article

Abstract

A single U → G transversion in the 3′ consensus sequence AAUAAA of the adenovirus early region 1A gene was constructed and the effect of this mutation on processing of the 3′ end of the nuclear early region 1A RNAs was analysed. The results demonstrate that the intact AAUAAA is not required for RNA polyadenylation but is required for the cleavage step preceding polyadenylation to occur efficiently.
