The mouse histone H2a gene contains a small element that facilitates cytoplasmic accumulation of intronless gene transcripts and of unspliced HIV-1-related mRNAs.

Abstract:

:Histone mRNAs are naturally intronless and accumulate efficiently in the cytoplasm. To learn whether there are cis-acting sequences within histone genes that allow efficient cytoplasmic accumulation of RNAs, we made recombinant constructs in which sequences from the mouse H2a gene were cloned into a human beta-globin cDNA. By using transient transfection and RNase protection analysis, we demonstrate here that a 100-bp sequence within the H2a coding region permits efficient cytoplasmic accumulation of the globin cDNA transcripts. We also show that this sequence appears to suppress splicing and can functionally replace Rev and the Rev-responsive element in the cytoplasmic accumulation of unspliced HIV-1-related mRNAs. Like the Rev-responsive element, this sequence acts in an orientation-dependent manner. We thus propose that the sequence identified here may be a member of the cis-acting elements that facilitate the cytoplasmic accumulation of naturally intronless gene transcripts.
