The poly(A)-limiting element (PLE) is a cis-acting sequence that acts to limit poly(A) tail length on pre-mRNA to &lt;20 nt. Functional PLEs are present in a number of genes, underscoring the generality of this control mechanism. The current study sought to define further the position requirements for poly(A) length regulation and the core sequence that comprises a PLE. Increasing the spacing between the PLE and the upstream 3' splice site or between the PLE and the downstream AAUAAA had no effect on poly(A) length control. However, moving the PLE from the terminal exon to either an upstream exon or intron eliminated poly(A) length control. Poly(A) length control was further evaluated using a battery of constructs in which the PLE was maintained in the terminal exon, but where upstream introns were either deleted, modified, or replaced with a polypyrimidine tract. Poly(A) length control was retained in all cases, indicating that the key feature is the presence of the PLE in the terminal exon. A battery of mutations demonstrated the importance of the 5' pyrimidine-rich portion of the element. Finally, UV crosslinking experiments identified an approximately 62-kDa protein in Hela nuclear extract that binds to a wild-type 23-nt PLE RNA oligonucleotides but not to a mutated nonfunctional form of the element.
