Abstract

To understand the mechanisms of mRNA transport in eukaryotes, we have isolated Saccharomyces cerevisiae temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants which accumulate poly(A)⁺ RNA in the nucleus at the restrictive temperature. A total of 21 recessive mutants were isolated and classified into 16 coming mutants, these strains do not interrupt splicing of pre-mRNA at 37°C; however four strains accumulate oversized RNA polymerase II transcripts. Some show inhibition of rRNA processing and a further subset of these strains is also characterized by inhibition of tRNA maturation. Several strains accumulate nuclear.
