Mesozoic sequence of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands): Witness of Early Jurassic sea-floor spreading in the central Atlantic

The Fuerteventura Jurassic sedimentary succession consists of oceanic and elastic deposits, the latter derived from the southwestern Moroccan continental margin. Normal mid-oceanic-ridge basalt (N-MORB) flows and breccias are found at the base of the sequence and witness sea-floor spreading events in the central Atlantic. These basalts were extruded in a postrift environment (post-late Pliensbachian), We propose a Toarcian age for the Atlantic oceanic floor in this region, on the basis of the presence higher up in the sequence of the Bositra buchi filament microfacies (Aalenian-Bajocian) and of elastic deposits reflecting tectono-eustatic events (e.g,, late Toarcian to mid-Callovian erosion of the rift shoulder). The S-l sea-floor oceanic magnetic anomaly west of Fuerteventura is therefore at least Toarcian in age. The remaining sequence records Atlantic-Tethyan basinal facies (e.g., Callovian-Oxfordian red clays, Aptian-Albian black shales) alternating with elastic deposits (e.g., Kimmeridgian-Berriasian periplatform calciturbidites and a Lower Cretaceous deep-sea fan system). The Fuerteventura N-MORB outcrops represent the only Early Jurassic oceanic basement described so far in the central Atlantic. They are covered by a 1600 m, nearly continuous sedimentary sequence which extends to Upper Cretaceous facies.

Functional analysis of the 5' flanking sequence of a vaccinia virus late gene.

A series of mutations, including 5' and 3' deletions, as well as insertions were introduced into the 5' flanking nucleotide sequence of a vaccinia virus late gene. This DNA has been shown previously to contain all the necessary elements for correct regulation of the gene most probably transcribed by the viral RNA polymerase. To facilitate the assays, the mutated DNA was fused to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene and inserted into the genome of live vaccinia virus. The effects of the mutations on expression of the chimeric gene were studied by both enzyme assays and nuclease S1 analysis. The results showed that 5' deletions up to about 15 bp from the putative initiation site of transcription still yielded high levels of gene expression. All mutations, however, that deleted the authentic late mRNA start site, abolished promoter activity.
