Functional coupling of RNAP II transcription to spliceosome assemblyRita Das
Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
Genes Dev 20:1100-9. 2006..We conclude that RNAP II mediates the functional coupling of transcription to splicing by directing the nascent pre-mRNA into spliceosome assembly, thereby bypassing interaction of the pre-mRNA with the inhibitory hnRNP proteins...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:5002-7. 2005..We conclude that exonic enhancers can act as barriers to prevent exon skipping and thereby may play a key role in ensuring the correct 5' to 3' linear order of exons in spliced mRNA...
An extensive network of coupling among gene expression machinesTom Maniatis
Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA
Nature 416:499-506. 2002..The extensive coupling is consistent with a model in which the machines are tethered to each other to form 'gene expression factories' that maximize the efficiency and specificity of each step in gene expression...
