Pre-mRNA splicing alters mRNP composition: evidence for stable association of proteins at exon–exon junctions

H Le Hir, MJ Moore, LE Maquat - Genes & development, 2000 - genesdev.cshlp.org
We provide direct evidence that pre-mRNA splicing alters mRNP protein composition. Using
a novel in vitro cross-linking approach, we detected several proteins that associate with …
