Abstract

Knowledge of how the biochemical machineries governing metabolism and transport of several distinct classes of RNA may be organized and integrated into the structure of the nucleus remains very limited. Recent observations, including advances in the detection of specific nucleotide sequences directly within the nucleus, have heightened the long-standing interest in the structural organization of pre-mRNA transcription and processing.
