Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence supports the idea that pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA export are mechanistically coupled. In metazoans, this process appears to be mediated by a multicomponent complex, which associates with the spliced RNA upstream of the exon-exon junction. One of these components (Aly/REF) has a homolog in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae known as Yra1p. The YRA1 gene is essential for growth and required...
