摘要: We report a role for CA repeats in the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) regulating CD154 expression. Human is encoded by an unstable mRNA; this instability conferred cis portion of its 3′-UTR that includes polypyrimidine-rich and dinucleotide repeat. demonstrate similar activity with murine 3′-UTR. This element mapped solely to conserved 100-base CU-rich alone, which we call response element. Surprisingly, dinucleotide-rich also regulated reporter expression but at level translation. was associated poly(A) tail shortening heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L levels. conclude contains dual cis-acting elements, one defines novel function exonic repeats. These findings suggest mechanism association CA-rich polymorphisms overexpression subsequent risk autoimmune disease.
