Study reveals plants have mechanism for protein blueprint monitoring that was thought to exist only in animal cells

Plants have a sophisticated mechanism for monitoring the production of new proteins. The U1 snRNP complex ensures that the protein blueprints are fully completed. This is important because cells tend to halt the process prematurely. This type of quality control, so-called telescripting, was previously known to exist only in animal cells. Plants have a sophisticated mechanism for monitoring the production of new proteins.
