title: A precise termination site in the mouse beta major-globin transcription unit.
abstract: Nascent labeled RNA from induced, globin-producing mouse erythroleukemia cells was hybridized to cloned regions of the beta major-globin gene. Transcription ceases about 1,000 bases downstream from the poly(A) site as indicated by protection from nuclease digestion of a discrete-sized RNA fragment that it shorter than the protecting cloned DNA fragment. This defines an apparently unique termination site for a protein-coding gene that is transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
