Abstract

The 3' terminus of simian virus 40 late mRNA is formed by nucleolytic cleavage of an mRNA precursor. In this report we show that efficient cleavage requires a sequence in the 3' flanking region, "downstream" of the highly conserved A-A-U-A-A-A sequence. This sequence is not required for polyadenylylation itself or for accurately positioning the 3' terminus that is formed.
