A Block in Mammalian Splicing Occurring after Formation of Large Complexes Containing U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 Small Nuclear Ribonucleoproteins [PDF]
The assembly of mammalian pre-mRNAs into large 50S to 60S complexes, or spliceosomes, containing small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) leads to the production of splicing intermediates, 5' exon and lariat-3' exon, and the subsequent production of spliced products.

Drug hypersensitivity caused by alteration of the MHC-presented self-peptide repertoire [PDF]
Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions are unpredictable, dose independent and potentially life threatening; this makes them a major factor contributing to the cost and uncertainty of drug development. Clinical data suggest that many such reactions involve

Association of U2, U4, U5, and U6 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins in a spliceosome-type complex in absence of precursor RNA. [PDF]
Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) associate to form multi-snRNP complexes during splicing of mRNA precursors. A vast majority of the three snRNPs U4, U5, and U6 are present in a nuclear extract in a single complex, while U1 and U2 snRNPs exist as separate particles.

SSB-1 of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a nucleolar-specific, silver-binding protein that is associated with the snR10 and snR11 small nuclear RNAs [PDF]
SSB-1, the yeast single-strand RNA-binding protein, is demonstrated to be a yeast nucleolar-specific, silver-binding protein. In double-label immunofluorescence microscopy experiments antibodies to two other nucleolar proteins, RNA Pol I 190-kD and ...

Interaction of yeast eIF4G with spliceosome components Implications in pre-mRNA processing events [PDF]
International audienceAs evidenced from mammalian cells the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4G has a putative role in nuclear RNA metabolism. Here we investigate whether this role is conserved in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The basic domain of Rev from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 specifically blocks the entry of U4/U6.U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein in spliceosome assembly [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) encodes a regulatory protein, Rev, which is required for cytoplasmic expression of incompletely spliced viral mRNA. Rev binds to a cis-acting Rev-responsive element (RRE) located within the env region of HIV-1. It has previously been shown that a 17-amino-acid peptide, corresponding to the basic domain of Rev,

Dual RNA Processing Roles of Pat1b via Cytoplasmic Lsm1-7 and Nuclear Lsm2-8 Complexes
Summary: Pat1 RNA-binding proteins, enriched in processing bodies (P bodies), are key players in cytoplasmic 5′ to 3′ mRNA decay, activating decapping of mRNA in complex with the Lsm1-7 heptamer.

A human protein required for the second step of pre-mRNA splicing is functionally related to a yeast splicing factor [PDF]
We have identified a human splicing factor required for the second step of pre-mRNA splicing. This new protein, hPrp18, is 30% identical to the yeast splicing factor Prp18.

Schizosaccharomyces U6 genes have a sequence within their introns that matches the B box consensus of tRNA internal promoters [PDF]
The gene for the U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is interrupted by an intron whose structure is similar to those found in messenger RNA precursors (pre-mRNAs) (1).

Knocking Down Snrnp200 Initiates Demorphogenesis of Rod Photoreceptors in Zebrafish
Purpose. The small nuclear ribonucleoprotein 200 kDa (SNRNP200) gene is a fundamental component for precursor message RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing and has been implicated in the etiology of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP).
