3'-Untranslated regions (UTRs) of genes often
contain key regulatory elements involved in gene expression control. A
high degree of evolutionary conservation in regions of the 3'-UTR
suggests important, conserved elements. In particular, we are
interested in those elements involved in regulation of 3' end
formation. In addition to canonical sequence elements, auxiliary
sequences likely play an important role in determining the
polyadenylation efficiency of mammalian pre-mRNAs. We
identified highly conserved sequence elements upstream of the AAUAAA in
three human collagen genes, COL1A1, COL1A2, and COL2A1, and demonstrate
that these upstream sequence elements (USEs) influence polyadenylation
efficiency. Mutation of the USEs decreases polyadenylation efficiency
both in vitro and in vivo, and inclusion of
competitor oligoribonucleotides representing the USEs specifically
inhibit polyadenylation. We have also shown that insertion of a USE
into a weak polyadenylation signal can enhance 3' end formation. Close
inspection of the COL1A2 3'-UTR reveals an unusual feature of two
closely spaced, competing polyadenylation signals. Taken together,
these data demonstrate that USEs are important auxiliary
polyadenylation elements in mammalian genes.
