Autogenous regulation of splicing of the transcript of a yeast ribosomal protein gene.

M D Dabeva, M A Post-Beittenmiller, J R Warner
PMCID: PMC386394  PMID: 3526341

Abstract

The gene for a yeast ribosomal protein, RPL32, contains a single intron. The product of this gene appears to participate in feedback control of the splicing of the intron from the transcript. This autogenous regulation of splicing provides a striking analogy to the autogenous regulation of translation of ribosomal proteins in Escherichia coli.
