Abstract excerpt
We used nuclear extracts from Drosophila Kc cells to characterize 3' end processing of Drosophila histone pre-mRNAs. Drosophila SLBP plays a critical role in recruiting the U 7 snRNP to the pre-mRNA and is essential for processing all five Drosophila histone pre-mRNAs. The Drosophila processing machinery strongly prefers cleavage after a fourth nucleotide following the stem-loop and favors an adenosine over...
