Spliced Leader RNA Gene Transcription in Trypanosoma brucei Requires Transcription Factor TFIIH
27 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Trypanosomatid parasites share a gene expression mode which differs greatly from that of their human and insect hosts. In these unicellular eukaryotes, protein-coding genes are transcribed polycistronically and individual mRNAs are processed from precursors by spliced leader (SL) trans splicing and polyadenylation. In trans splicing, the SL RNA is consumed through a transfer of its 5'-terminal part to the 5' end...
