... ) 20 4 2002 © 2002. 2002 nanos Translational control Neuroendocrine 3′ untranslated region Drosophila Translational control offers unique possibilities for spatial and temporal fidelity of gene expression. Accordingly, it plays important roles in such diverse processes...

... pole by a large, cis-acting signal in the nanos 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR); translation of unlocalized nanos RNA is repressed by a 90 nucleotide Translational Control Element (TCE), also in the 3′UTR. We now show quantitatively that the majority of nanos RNA in the embryo is not localized...

.... C. Lai and J. W. Posakony (1997) Development 124, 4039-4051) that the 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of many genes involved in Notch signalling, including Bearded (Brd) and the genes of the Enhancer of split Complex (E(spl)-C), contain (often in multiple copies) two novel heptanucleotide sequence...

... in the gain-of-function mutants, due to the insertion of a transposable element of the blood family in the Brd 3′ untranslated region (UTR). The wild-type Brd 3′ UTR includes three copies of a 9-nucleotide sequence (CAGCTTTAA) that we refer to as the ‘Brd box’. Moreover, the 3′ UTRs of Brd and of the m4...
