Abstract excerpt
Trans mRNA splicing in trypanosomatids requires as cofactors small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) U2, U4, U5, and U6, in addition to the spliced leader (SL) RNA. To allow a phylogenetic comparison and functional analysis of trypanosomatid U4 snRNAs, we have cloned the single-copy gene for the Leptomonas seymouri U4 snRNA. In addition, a putative U4 snRNA gene from Leishmania tarentolae was identified by database...
