Genes Dev. 16:2002;2761-2766 The authors demonstrate that the mRNA export factor Yra1p is recruited co-transcriptionally but requires the splicing process for intron-containing mRNA and accurate 3′-end formation for all mRNA. These experiments show that splicing and 3′-end formation enhance the export process and also suggest that this mRNA export factor recruitment allows for export exclusively of properly processed transcripts.

TREX is a conserved complex coupling transcription with messenger RNA export. Nature. 417:2002;304-308 The authors describe a complex that couples transcription, splicing and export that is conserved in yeast and in human, suggesting that the decision to export mRNA is made co-transcriptionally.

Science. 297:2002;108-110 Evidence for nonsense-associated alternative splicing is presented. A tRNA-scanning-dependent mechanism switches the splicing machinery on the T cell receptor mRNA to avoid production of transcripts with the nonsense mutation. Therefore, a reading frame recognition mechanism exists for certain transcripts to modulate splicing in order to produce corrected transcripts.

Cell Biol. 22:2002;8241-8253 The authors demonstrate co-transcriptional recruitment of a splicing and an export factor that interact with a transcription elongation factor, suggesting that these processes are linked. Furthermore, they show that aberrant messenger ribonucleoprotein assembly is targeted by the exosome for degradation.

Cell. 9:2002;1285-1296 The authors show that the fate of aberrant transcripts is regulated. The nuclear exosome degrades the aberrant transcript into an intermediate that is processed by a regulated step. In non-fermentable cultures, the transcripts are processed into functional mRNA species; glucose cultures favour degradation.
