Abstract excerpt
We have studied splicing of the polyoma virus early region pre-mRNA in vitro. This RNA is alternatively spliced in vivo to produce mRNA encoding the large, middle-sized (MTAg), and small (StAg) tumor antigens. Our primary interest was to learn how the 48-nucleotide StAg intron is excised, because the length of this intron is significantly less than the apparent minimum established for mammalian introns. Although...
