...] is a key intracellular response to Notch receptor activity. Here we report that most E(spl)-C genes contain a novel sequence motif, the K box (TGTGAT), in their 3′ untranslated regions (3′ UTRs). We present three lines of evidence that demonstrate the importance of this element in the post-transcriptional...

... transcript in the fully grown immature oocyte, but is translationally activated at meiotic maturation. We have identified a short cis -acting element in the FGF receptor 3′ untranslated region that inhibits translation of synthetic mRNA. This inhibitory element is sufficient to inhibit translation...
