摘要

The first intron of the early region 3 from adenovirus type 2 contains a cryptic 5' splice site, Dcr1, 74 nucleotides downstream from the natural site D1. The cryptic site can be activated when the natural site is inactivated by mutagenesis. To investigate the basis for selection between a natural and a cryptic 5' splice site, we searched for cis-acting elements responsible for the exclusive selection of the natural site. We show that both the relative intrinsic strength of the sites and the sequence context affect the selection. A 120-nucleotide segment located at the 3' end of exon 1 enhances splicing at the proximal site D1; in its absence the two sites are used according to their strength. Thus, three cis-acting elements are involved in the silencing of the cryptic site: the sequence of D1, the sequence of Dcr1, and an upstream exonic sequence. We show that the exonic element folds, in solution, into a 113-nucleotide-long stem-loop structure. We propose that this potential stem-loop structure which is located 6 nucleotides upstream of the exon 1-intron junction is responsible for the preferential use of the natural 5' splice site.
