Abstract
Ring-shaped structures containing seven Sm or Sm-like proteins are stable c omponents of several small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles that functio n in pre-mRNA splicing. Recent reports describe a role for a distinct compl ex of seven Sm-like proteins in a very different process: mRNA degradation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
