Newly synthesized transcripts are usually spliced during transcription or immediately thereafter. So pre-mRNA splicing has been presumed to occur exclusively in the cell nucleus. In this issue of Cell, Denis et al. (2005) now report the presence of functional spliceosomes and signal-dependent pre-mRNA splicing in the cytoplasm of platelets.
新合成的转录本通常在转录过程中或之后立即进行剪接。因此,人们一直认为前体mRNA剪接仅发生在细胞核中。在本期《细胞》杂志中,德尼等人(2005年)现在报道了血小板细胞质中存在功能性剪接体和信号依赖性前体mRNA剪接。
