U2 snRNP: not just for poly(A) mRNAs
Abstract
Polyadenylated mRNAs and replication-dependent histone mRNAs, which are not polyadenylated, share factors involved in 3' end formation. Friend et al. (2007) now report that the U2 snRNP, required for pre-mRNA splicing, is also required for histone mRNA 3' end formation.
