摘要: In eukaryotic cells, inefficient splicing is surprisingly common and leads to the degradation of transcripts with retained introns. How pre-mRNAs are committed nuclear decay unknown. Here, we uncover a mechanism by which specific intron-containing targeted for in fission yeast. Sequence elements within these "decay-promoting" introns co-transcriptionally recruit exosome specificity factor Mmi1, induces unspliced precursor reduction levels spliced mRNA. This negatively regulates RNA helicase DDX5/Dbp2 promote cell survival response stress. contrast, fast removal decay-promoting co-transcriptional precludes Mmi1 recruitment relieves negative expression regulation. We propose that facilitate regulation gene expression. Based on identification multiple additional targets, including mRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, sn/snoRNAs, suggest general role through transcript degradation.
