Regulation of mRNA levels by decay-promoting introns that recruit the exosome specificity factor Mmi1

In eukaryotic cells, inefficient splicing is surprisingly common and leads to degradation of transcripts with retained introns. How pre-mRNAs are committed to nuclear decay is unknown. Here we uncover a mechanism by which specific intron-containing transcripts are targeted for nuclear degradation in...
