    CoTC element downstream of the polyadenylation site in the human b-globin mRNA is a ribozyme that cleaves itself This generates a free RNA 5’-end This cleavage is required for normal transcription termination It provides an entry site for Xrn2, a 5’3’ exonuclease that loads onto the RNA and chases RNA polymerase by degrading the RNA

    These are position- and orientation-independent DNA elements that stimulate or depress, respectively, transcription of associated genes Are often tissue-specific in that they rely on tissue-specific DNA-binding proteins for their activities Some DNA elements can act either as enhancer or silencer depending on what is bound to it
