摘要: Spliced leader (SL) trans-splicing generates the 5′ end of mature mRNAs through the addition of a small exon to pre-mRNAs in some flagellates (kinetoplastida and euglenoids) and metazoans (nematodes and flatworms). Although SL addition in the kinetoplastida and a subset of nematode genes serves to resolve multicistronic mRNAs into monocistronic, capped mRNAs, information regarding the functional significance of trans-splicing in flatworms is limited. We describe here the identification and characterization of a closely …
