Abstract
Using sequence-tagged genomic reporter constructs, we investigated the contribution of IL-2 sequences to CD28-mediated regulation of mRNA stability. We find that CD28 signaling acts transiently to stabilize the IL-2 mRNA following T cell activation. Such stabilization requires sequences within both exon 2 and the coding region of exon 4. Unexpectedly, CD28 signaling at later times enhances the decay of the IL-2 mRNA. This CD28-dependent decay of IL-2 mRNA requires sequences localized between exon 3 and the stop codon. Our findings demonstrate that the coding region of the IL-2 mRNA contains previously undefined CD28-responsive sequence elements that are critical for the regulation of mRNA stability.Entities:
