Abstract excerpt
Most of the major spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) (i.e. U1, U2, U4 and U5) are synthesized by RNA polymerase II (pol II). In Drosophila melanogaster, the 5'-flanking DNA of these genes contains two conserved elements: the proximal sequence element A (PSEA) and the proximal sequence element B (PSEB). The PSEA is essential for transcription and is recognized by DmSNAPc, a multi-subunit protein complex....
