Abstract excerpt
To investigate the relationship between splicing and polyadenylation during the production of vertebrate mRNAs, we examined the effect of mutation of a poly(A) site on splicing of upstream introns. Mutation of the AAUAAA polyadenylation consensus sequence inhibited in vitro splicing of an upstream intron. The magnitude of the depression depended on the magnesium concentration. Dependence of splicing on...
