Abstract excerpt
We have identified a nuclear pathway that rapidly degrades unspliced pre-mRNAs in yeast. This involves 3'-->5' degradation by the exosome complex and 5'-->3' degradation by the exonuclease Rat1p. 3'-->5' degradation is normally the major pathway and is regulated in response to carbon source. Inhibition of pre-mRNA degradation resulted in increased levels of pre-mRNAs and spliced mRNAs. When splicing was inhibited...
