Modulating alternative splicing by cotranscriptional cleavage of nascent intronic RNA.

Cotranscriptional cleavage mediated by a hammerhead ribozyme can affect alternative splicing if interposed between an exon and its intronic regulatory elements. This has been demonstrated using two different alternative splicing systems based on alpha-tropomyosin and fibronectin genes. We suggest th...
