Abstract excerpt
Polyoma virus late nuclear primary transcripts are giant and heterogeneous, containing tandem repeats of the late strand of the circular viral genome. Late pre-mRNA processing involves the splicing of noncoding 'leader' exons to each other (removing genome-length introns), with the joining of the last leader to a coding 'body' exon. We have constructed a number of mutants blocked only in leader-leader splicing,...
