2. Alu elements contain many binding sites for transcription factors and may play a role in regulation of debelopmental processes BMC Genomics 2006, 7:133

3. Distribution of Alu was found to be highly correlated with local GC content and with the density of genes and with intron density Density of Alu is higher in intragenic(12.5% of the nucleotides) than in intergenic regions(9.6% of the nucleotides) Alu elements are negatively selected in imprinted regions of primate genomes Almost 20% of the genes contain transposable elements in the 3’UTR Housekeeping genes contain more Alu than tissue specific genes Feature of Alus

4. The idea of Alu acting as a carrier of cis regularoty elements was suggested by Britten ; Evolutionary selection against change in many Alu repeat sequences interspersed through primate genomes(1994) Our findings show for the first time that TFs that are known to regulate the developmental processes may bind to Alu elements that are incorporated in the promoter regions of genes that need to be activated or suppressed during development

11. Alu elements within human mRNAs are probable microRNA targets Four microRNAs complementarity with MIR/LINE-2 elements At least some Alu elements within human mRNAs serve as microRNA targets TRENDS in Genetics

13. Figure 3. The predicted RNA secondary structure of the Alu consensus sequence. The prediction was made using the Mfold server [18] (http://www.bioinfo.rpi.edu/ applications/mfold/old/rna/). The bases in bold (GCACUU) indicate the site on Alu that is hit by the 6-mer core sequence (AAGUGC).

14. There is no biological reason why Alu or other transposable elements within mRNAs should be regarded as unavailable for regulation by microRNAs Indeed mRNAs that contain multiple Alu elements within their 3’UTRs should be regarded as particularly promising targets

20. Lab application 1. 기존의 실험 모델을 Alu 에 적용 – Alu 의 promoter 로서의 역할. 여러가지 경우의 다양한 Disscusion 이 가능. 2. miRNA 의 target 이 되는 서열의 확인을 통해 Alu 가 포함되어 있는 전사체의 운명 을 예측할 수 있으며 이를 질병에 적용시켜 실험에 응용할 수 있음 – polymorphis m 및 계통상에서의 연구 3. 논문에서 언급된 Alu 를 통한 Recombination 이 높은 homology 를 가진 LTR 서열 에서도 적용될 수 있을 것이며 계통상에서 보존된 유전자의 이상으로 인해 발생한 질병등에서 구조의 분석비교가 가능할 것이다.
