Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The dynamic rearrangements of RNA structure which occur during pre-mRNA splicing are thought to be mediated by members of the DExD/H-box family of RNA-dependent ATPases. Although three DExD/H-box splicing factors have recently been shown to unwind synthetic RNA duplexes in purified systems, in no case has the natural biological substrate been identified. A duplex RNA target of particular interest is...
