Sea urchin histone mRNA termini are located in gene regions downstream from putative regulatory sequences.
S1 nuclease mapping of the Psammechinus miliaris embryonic histone mRNAs locates the 5' termini in or adjacent to a short sequence homology (5'pyCATTCpu3') downstream from the putative RNA polymerase II regulatory sequence (5'TATAAATA3') or related sequences. The 3' termini map just after a sequence containing GC-rich hyphenated dyad symmetry, a feature of most known terminator sequences.
