The Rev-RRE system and the CTE direct intron-containing RNAs to distinct export pathways. Although previous data have suggested that Rev uses the same export pathway as uracil-rich small nuclear RNAs and 5S ribosomal RNA, the CTE seems to interact with evolutionarily conserved factors that are essential for cellular mRNA export.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
