摘要:Nuclear RNA precursors to the mRNA for rat cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) (EC 4.1.1.32 ) and nuclear RNA species smaller in size than the mature enzyme mRNA have been identified by using hybridization probes specific for introns and exons from the gene. A number of processing intermediates, including an intact intron, were noted. Based on the size and distribution of the precursors observed, we propose a pathway for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase RNA processing that involves splicing of introns starting at the 5' end of the RNA transcript and proceeding toward the 3' end.
