Distinct 3′-Untranslated Region Elements Regulate Stage-specific mRNA Accumulation and Translation in Leishmania

We recently characterized a large developmentally regulated gene family in Leishmania encoding the amastin surface proteins. While studying the regulation of these genes, we identified a region of 770 nucleotides (nt) within the 2055-nt 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) that regulates stage-specific gene expression at the level of translation. An intriguing feature of this 3′-UTR regulatory region is the presence of a ∼450-nt element that is highly conserved among several Leishmania mRNAs. Here we show, using a luciferase reporter system that the element of the amastin in is the that the the a region of nucleotides at the of several amastin in 3′-UTR regulatory in amastin translation. we that in the of the of the of amastin a that is of the these the that stage-specific regulation of the amastin in Leishmania is the of that of the within We recently characterized a large developmentally regulated gene family in Leishmania encoding the amastin surface proteins.
