Abstract excerpt
We have screened nucleoporin mutants for the inhibition of tRNA splicing, which has previously been proposed to be coupled to transport. Strains mutant for Nup49p or Nup116p, or genetically depleted of Nup145p, strongly accumulated unspliced pre-tRNAs. Splicing was inhibited for all 10 families of intron-containing pre-tRNA, but no effects on 5' or 3' end processing were detected. Strains mutant for Nup133p or...
