Tap and NXT promote translation of unspliced mRNA.

Abstract excerpt

Tap has been proposed to play a role in general mRNA export and also functions in expression of RNA with retained introns that contain the MPMV CTE (constitutive transport element). Tap forms a functional heterodimer with NXT/p15. We have previously demonstrated that unspliced intron-containing CTE RNA is efficiently exported to the cytoplasm in mammalian cells. Here we show that Tap and NXT proteins function...
