Transcription and splicing must proceed over genomic distances of hundreds of kilobases in many human genes. However, the rates and mechanisms of these processes are poorly understood. We have used the compound 5,6-Dichlorobenzimidazole 1-b-D-ribofuranoside (DRB) that reversibly blocks gene transcription in vivo combined with quantitative RT-PCR to analyze the transcription and RNA processing of several long human genes. We found that the rate of RNA polymerase II transcription over long genomic distances is about 3.8 kb per minute and is nearly the same whether transcribing long introns or exon rich regions. We also determined that co-transcriptional pre-mRNA splicing of U2-dependent introns occurs within 5–10 minutes of synthesis irrespective of intron length between 1 kb and 240 kb. Similarly, U12-dependent introns were co-transcriptionally spliced within 10 minutes of synthesis confirming that these introns are spliced within the nuclear compartment. These results show that the expression of large genes is surprisingly rapid and efficient.
