Each of the conserved sequence elements flanking the cleavage site of mammalian histone pre-mRNAs has a distinct role in the 3''-end processing reaction.

???displayArticle.abstract???
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.
