Abstract excerpt
Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) is a class of non-coding RNAs that processes pre-mRNA and rRNA. Transcription of abundant snRNA species is regulated by the snRNA activating protein complex (SNAPc), which is conserved among multicellular organisms including plants. SRD2, a putative subunit of SNAPc in Arabidopsis thaliana, is essential for development, and the point mutation srd2-1 causes severe defects in hypocotyl...
