Distinctive features of Drosophila alternative splicing factor RS domain: implication for specific phosphorylation, shuttling, and splicing activation.

abstract：:We cloned a 12.3-kilobase (kb) endogenous plasmid, Ddp1, found in several wild-type and laboratory strains of Dictyostelium discoideum into pBR322. The cloned plasmids have been used to cotransform D. discoideum cells with B10S, a transformation vector carrying a gene fusion conferring resistance to G418. Whereas B10S...
