Alu Element - 7SL RNA

7SL RNA

The sequence of the DNA for the 299 nucleotide long 7SL RNA :

The functional retinoic acid response element hexamer sites are in upper case and overlap the internal transcriptional promoter. The recognition sequence of the Alu endonuclease is 5' AG/CT 3'; that is, the enzyme cuts the DNA segment between the guanine and cytosine residues (in bold above).
