Two expression vectors were constructed that differ only in the presence (+) or absence (-) of an intervening sequence (IVS) in their 5''-untranslated leaders. Transient transfection into four mammalian cell lines resulted in higher levels of the indicator protein (CAT) from the IVS(+) vector (6 to 50=fold). Cytoplasmic RNA concentrations in 293s and HeLa cell lines corresponded directly to resultant protein levels; measurements in 293s cells of transcription initiation and elongation, steady-state total nuclear RNA, and cytoplasmic RNA stability, were equivalent for the two vectors. Surprisingly, the amount of poly(A)+ nuclear RNA was greater from the IVS(+) vector. Since this difference matches the ratio seen with polyadenylated cytoplasmic RNA, our results imply that splicing is coupled to a polyadenylation/transport pathway.
