| Abstract | BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) is a multifunctional member of the transforming growth factor-β family of growth factors. Disruption of BMP2 signaling results in developmental defects, cancers, and other diseases. BMP2 mRNAs are alternatively polyadenylated, resulting in mRNAs with distinct 3′-untranslated regions. The longer mRNA contains additional putative binding sites for post-transcriptional regulatory factors, including micro-RNAs. We combined functional assays with computational analyses of emerging genome data to define site- and species-specific polyadenylation determinants. In all mouse and human cell lines tested, shorter mRNAs resulting from using the first polyadenylation signal (PA1) were more abundant than mRNAs from the second signal (PA2). However, the PA1/PA2 usage ratios were 2–3-fold higher in human than in mouse cells. Expression of human BMP2 constructs in mouse cells and mouse constructs in human cells showed that cis-regulatory elements direct species-specific 3′ processing of BMP2 transcripts. A 72-nucleotide region downstream of PA2 in the mouse sequence contains two novel cis-acting elements previously hypothesized to regulate polyadenylation in a bioinformatics analysis. Mutations that humanized the mouse-specific elements lowered the affinity for cleavage stimulation factor CstF64 and significantly weakened the PA2 signal relative to the PA1 signal. Thus, we have experimentally defined for the first time cis-regulatory elements that control a species-specific difference in the 3′-end processing of BMP2 and potentially of other genes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
