Abstract excerpt
In S. cerevisiae cells debilitated in mRNA nuclear export, transcripts are retained in nuclear foci ("dots"). The ultimate fate of dot-mRNA has remained elusive. Here, we use single molecule counting microscopy and (35)S-methionine pulse-labeling assays to quantify cytoplasmic HSP104 RNA levels and estimate HSP104 RNA translation status. HSP104 transcripts, retained in dots as a consequence of the mex67-5...
