Abstract excerpt
Gene expression in eukaryotes requires the post-transcriptional cleavage of mRNA precursors into mature mRNAs. In Trypanosoma brucei, mRNA processing is of particular importance, since most transcripts are derived from polycistronic transcription units. This organization dictates that regulated gene expression is promoter-independent and governed at the posttranscriptional level. We have identified tbCPSF30, a...
