Deskripsi

We know that most splicing reactions take place co-transcriptionally, but how the transcription machinery facilitate splicing of introns is unknown. Here the authors show that the 5′ splice site remains associated with the transcription machinery during intron synthesis through U1 snRNP, providing a basis for the rapid splicing reaction of introns.
