摘要

We characterized the transcription termination region of the chicken beta H-globin gene. First we located the region by nuclear runon transcription in vitro. Then we sequenced and subcloned it into a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) expression vector for assay in vivo. The region of beta H termination contains two interesting elements located about 1 kilobase downstream of the beta H gene poly(A) site. Either element alone can block CAT expression if inserted between the promoter and the poly(A) site of the cat gene in pRSVcat. The first element in the termination region is an unusually large inverted repeat in the DNA (delta G = -71 kcal). The second element, 200 base pairs further downstream, is an RNA polymerase II promoter which directs transcription back upstream on the complementary strand. This transcription converges on and collides with that from the beta H gene at or near the inverted repeat where transcription from both directions stops. We propose that the inverted repeat is a strong pause site which positions the converging polymerases for mutual site-specific termination.
