RNA transcribed by RNA polymerase III from a number of mammalian SINEs can be polyadenylated in the cell.
SINEs of this type contain polyadenylation signals (AATAAA) and a transcription terminator in their 3′ end region.
Sequences located downstream of the promoter box B and upstream of the SINE tail contribute to this type of polyadenylation.
In many SINEs, the polypyrimidine motif upstream of the AATAAA signals is involved in polyadenylation.
