RESUMO
Induction of IFN-beta 1 RNA was studied in the mouse cell line SR117-21E transformed by a BPV episome containing the human IFN-beta 1 gene deleted of promoter sequences upstream from position -40. Nuclei isolated from these cells synthesize constitutively IFN-beta 1 RNA from the partially deleted promoter. The IFN-beta 1 RNA synthesized by nuclei of uninduced SR117-21E cells is similar to that made by nuclei of poly(rI):(rC)-induced cells, but does not accumulate and hence no IFN is produced unless the cells have been treated either by ds RNA or by cycloheximide. We conclude that the IFN-beta 1 gene has, in addition to the transcription control due to upstream promoter sequences, an additional post-transcriptional control acting on mRNA accumulation and linked to sequences close to the TATA box and RNA start site. Both controls are relieved by ds RNA.
