Abstract
U1 snRNP is one of the most abundant ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes in eukaryotic cells and is estimated to be approximately 1 million copies per cell. Apart from its canonical role in mRNA splicing, this complex has emerged as a key regulator of eukaryotic mRNA length via inhibition of mRNA 3'-end processing at numerous intronic polyadenylation sites, in a process that is also termed 'U1 snRNP telescripting'. Several reviews have extensively described the concept of U1 telescripting and subsequently highlighted its potential impacts in mRNA metabolism. Here, we review what is currently known regarding the underlying mechanisms of this important phenomenon and discuss open questions and future challenges.Entities:
