Deskripsi

Besides its role in splicing, U1 snRNP can suppress pre-mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation. The authors show that the nuclear cap-binding complex component Srrt/Ars2 maintains embryonic stem cell identity by promoting U1 recruitment to first introns and preventing premature termination of multiple transcripts.
