Cumulative effects of weakly repressive regulatory regions in the 3’ UTR maintain PD-1 expression homeostasis in mammals
The PD-1 3’ UTR repressed reporter gene expression by promoting mRNA decay The human PD-1 3’ UTR is made up of 1,174 nucleotides, longer than its coding region (867 nts). To explore the revolutionary relationship of PD-1 3’ UTRs of species, we systematically analyzed the sequence conservation of 21,050 protein-coding…
