Blots were hybridized with probes complementary to the <i>YRA1</i> or <i>SCR1</i> transcripts, with the latter serving as a loading control. The positions of <i>YRA1</i> pre-mRNAs encoded by the endogenous and all the exogenous <i>YRA1</i> alleles are marked by a triangle and by diamonds, respectively. A schematic diagram of the <i>yra1</i> alleles analyzed is shown above the Northern blot, with the relative position of each deletion indicated. Pre-mRNAs encoded by each of the <i>YRA1</i> mutant alleles cannot be spliced to produce mRNAs, as the 5′ or 3′ splicing signals were deleted from these pre-mRNAs.</p>
