Description
Summary:This book is an up-to-date review of the rapidly expanding research into the structure and function of small nuclear RNPs. In order to achieve a high level of conciseness and coherence, the topics were reviewed by a relatively small number of renowned scientists. Key features include: U-RNA structure and RNA modification, structure and transcription of U-RNA genes, protein components and assembly of snRNPs, the function of major and minor snRNPs in mRNA splicing, 3' processing of histone and polyadenylated mRNAs as well as tRNA precursors. The great promise of genetical techniques for the functional dissection of snRNPs is documented.
