What are the functions of DNA polymerase arrest sites (WGGAG) and Hamster deletion hotspot sequence (TGGAG)?

Apart from the names can anyone give me insights about the function of these (preferably in mammalian systems)? Particularly I'm interested in any relations to translational initiation (as I found my only two start-codons flanked by these).

Mohammad Shariati

I think you are asking the wrong person with the same name. There's another M Shariati in your field.

Good luck
