Abstract excerpt
The timing of events in the cell cycle is of crucial importance, as any error can lead to cell death or cancerous growth. This accurate timing is accomplished through the activation of specific CDC genes. Mutations in the CDC40/PRP17 gene cause cell cycle arrest at the G2/M stage. It was previously found that the CDC40 gene encodes a pre-mRNA splicing factor, which participates in the second step of the splicing...
