“…Other instability elements have been identified in the 5 0 -UTRs of yeast sdh1, sdh2, suc2, and ppr1 mRNAs, and in the ORFs of mammalian c-fos, c-myc, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (pai-2), and interferon-b (ifn-b) mRNAs, yeast mat1a mRNA, and Drosophila fushi tarazu (ftz) mRNA (Shyu et al, 1989;Wisdom and Lee, 1991;Caponigro et al, 1993;Pierrat et al, 1993;Cereghino et al, 1995;Davis et al, 2001;Ito and Jacobs-Lorena, 2001;Tierney and Medcalf, 2001;de la Cruz et al, 2002;Paste et al, 2003). Several of the transcripts that contain elements in their ORFs also contain instability elements in their 3 0 -UTR (c-fos, c-myc, ifn-b, and pai-2 contain AREs while ftz contains a ftz instability element 3 [FIE3]).…”
