Abstract excerpt
The 5' exon donor in nematode trans-splicing, the SL RNA, is a small (approximately 100 nt) RNA that resembles cis-spliceosomal U snRNAs. Extensive analyses of the RNA sequence requirements for SL RNA function have revealed four essential elements, the core Sm binding site, three nucleotides imme...
