Abstract excerpt
The eukaryotic small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are involved in processing of pre-rRNA and modification of rRNA nucleotides. Some snoRNAs are derived from mono- or polycistronic transcription units, whereas others are encoded in introns of protein genes. The present study addresses the role of the RNA lariat-debranching enzyme (Dbr1p) in the synthesis and function of intronic snoRNAs in the yeast Saccharomyces...
