Lariat RNA's as Intermediates and Products in the Splicing of Messenger RNA precursors

TL;DR: The splicing of messenger RNA precursors in vitro proceeds through an intermediate that has the 5' end of the intervening sequence joined to a site near the 3' splice site, which has been characterized for an adenovirus 2 major late transcript.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viral DNA in transformed cells. II. A study of the sequences of adenovirus 2 DNA IN NINE LINES OF TRANSFORMED RAT CELLS USING SPECIFIC FRAGMENTS OF THE VIRAL GENOME

TL;DR: From the order of the fragments formed by EcoRI and Hpa I on the adenovirus 2 map, it is concluded that these cell lines contain only the segment of viral DNA that stretches from the left-hand end to a point about 14% along the viral genome, which must be coded by any viral function expressed in transformed cells.

Emerging Roles for Natural MicroRNA Sponges

TL;DR: Questions are raised about the potential ability of thousands of non-coding transcripts to interact with miRNAs and influence the expression of miRNA target genes and some criteria for screening candidate sponge RNAs are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrophoretic separation of complexes involved in the splicing of precursors to mRNAs

TL;DR: Kinetic experiments suggest that complex A is converted with time to a larger, slower migrating complex B, and an endogenous large complex containing U2 snRNP could be detected in nuclear extracts.
