مستخلص: To study the substrate requirements for the histone 3'-end processing reaction of mammalian histone pre-mRNAs, we created a set of mutations in the sequences flanking the processing site of a mouse H3 gene. We found that deletion of the downstream purine-rich element hypothesized to interact with U7 small nuclear RNA abolishes in vitro 3'-end processing. Somewhat surprisingly, however, mutations in the hairpin loop element which destabilize or destroy the secondary structure reduce but do not abolish 3'-end processing. This is in apparent contrast to results obtained for the sea urchin system, where both sequence elements appear to be absolutely required for 3'-end formation.
