Abstract excerpt
U6 snRNA is the only spliceosomal snRNA transcribed by RNA polymerase III in yeast. We have constructed a regulated U6 snRNA transcription unit by introducing the binding site for the Escherichia coli lacI repressor protein in the U6 snRNA promoter. GAL-induced expression of lacI protein led to a decrease in U6 snRNA levels and blocked cell growth. lacI dissociation from the promoter, and consequent U6 snRNA...
