Monomethylated cap structures facilitate RNA export from the nucleus.

Cell - 5 Oct 1990

Hamm J, Mattaj I W

Abstract excerpt

RNA export from the nucleus has been analyzed in Xenopus oocytes. U1 snRNAs made by RNA polymerase II were exported into the cytoplasm, while U1 snRNAs synthesized by RNA polymerase III, and therefore with a different cap structure, remained in the nucleus. Export of the polymerase II-transcribed...
