U1 is a small non-polyadenylated nuclear RNA that is transcribed by RNA polymerase II and is known to play a role in mRNA splicing. The mature 3'' end of U1 snRNA is formed in at least 4 steps. The 1st step generates precursors of U1 RNA with a few extra nucleotides at the 3'' end; in the 2nd step, these precursors are shortened to mature U1 RNA. The sequences required for the 1st step were determined. Human U1 genes with various deletions and substitutions near the 3'' end of the coding region were constructed and introduced into HeLa cells by DNA transfection. The structure of the RNA synthesized during transient expression of the exogenous U1 gene was analyzed by S1 mapping. A 13 nucleotide sequence located downstream from the U1 coding region and conserved among U1, U2 and U3 genes of different species is the only sequence required to direct the 1st step in the formation of the 3'' end of U1 snRNA.
