A trans-splicing model for poly(A)-tail addition during VSG mRNA maturation in Trypanosoma brucei
Nikolay G. Kolev, Huafang Shi, Christian Tschudi
The paper identifies a splicing enhancer sequence that recruits factors for VSG mRNA maturation and proposes a model where polyadenylated SL RNA precursors are substrates for trans-splicing.
