Estradiol and estrogen receptor-dependent stabilization of a minivitellogenin mRNA lacking 5,100 nucleotides of coding sequence.

Nielsen DA , Shapiro DJ .


???displayArticle.abstract???
We have developed a transfection assay to investigate the estrogen-mediated stabilization of cytoplasmic vitellogenin mRNA. A minivitellogenin (MV5) gene containing the 5' and 3' untranslated and coding regions but lacking 5,075 nucleotides of internal coding sequence was constructed. Cotransfection of the MV5 plasmid and a Xenopus estrogen receptor expression plasmid into Xenopus liver tissue culture cells yielded a 529-nucleotide MV5 mRNA, which was specifically stabilized by estrogen. MV5 mRNA exhibited the increased stability indicative of positive regulation when the estradiol-estrogen receptor complex was present and was not destabilized by unliganded estrogen receptor. Transfected estrogen receptor, estradiol, and 529 nucleotides of the 5,604-nucleotide vitellogenin B1 mRNA were sufficient for stabilization.
