Abstract excerpt
Most factors known to function in mRNA turnover are not essential for cell viability. To identify essential factors, approximately 4000 temperature-sensitive yeast strains were screened for an increase in the level of the unstable CYH2 pre-mRNA. At the non-permissive temperature, five mutants exhibited decreased decay rates of the CYH2 pre-mRNA and mRNA, and the STE2, URA5 and PAB1 mRNAs. Of these, the mutant...
