Requirements for c-fos mRNA down regulation in growth stimulated murine cells.
Oncogene 1989;
4(
7):.
The fos proto-oncogene is rapidly and transiently expressed in resting cells exposed to growth stimulation. This gene is down-regulated at least at two levels: transcriptional repression and mRNA degradation. To determine the sequences and the structures involved in mRNA instability, we analyzed in mouse Ltk- cells various fos/beta-globin constructs for their transcriptional activity and the half-lives of the corresponding RNAs. In these cells, rabbit beta-globin genes under the control of a 500 bp fos SRE (serum responsive element)/promoter region are transiently transcribed within 30 min after stimulation. Analysis of the decay kinetics of RNA originating from these constructs led to the following conclusions with respect to the nature of c-fos destabilizer elements: (i) 100 bases from c-fos 3' untranslated region are able to confer instability when inserted into a normally stable beta-globin RNA; (ii) however, the degradation is more rapid when the complete untranslated region is inserted; (iii) rapid mRNA breakdown requires more determinants than two AUUUA motives and is associated with a reduction in size, presumably due to a poly(A) shortening; (iv) remarkably, c-fos destabilizing sequences remain active even when part of the coding sequence.
