Abstract

S1 nuclease mapping of the Psammechinus miliaris embryonic histone mRNAs locates the 5′ termini in or adjacent to a short sequence homology (5′ pyCATTCpu3′) downstream from the putative RNA polymerase II regulatory sequence (5′TATAAATA3′) or related sequences. The 3′ termini map just after a sequence containing GC-rich hyphenated dyad symmetry, a feature of most known terminator sequences.
