Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing controls the expression of many genes, including the Drosophila sex determination gene Sex-lethal. Previous studies have suggested that snf plays a role in regulating Sex-lethal splicing. Here, we demonstrate that snf is an integral component of the machinery required for splice site recognition. We have cloned snf and found that it has sequence homology to the mammalian U1A and U2B" snRNP...
