Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the poly(A) polymerase (PAP) gene of Trypanosoma brucei is interrupted by an intervening sequence. It was postulated that removing this intron by cis-splicing requires a yet unidentified U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), which in other organisms engages in base-pair interactions across the 5' splice site during early spliceosome assembly. Here we present a characterization of a 75...
