Evidence for a nuclear compartment of transcription and splicing located at chromosome domain boundaries [PDF]
The nuclear topography of splicing snRNPs, mRNA transcripts and chromosome domains in various mammalian cell types are described. The visualization of splicing snRNPs, defined by the Sm antigen, and coiled bodies, revealed distinctly different ...

The 5' splice site consensus RNA oligonucleotide induces assembly of U2/U4/U5/U6 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes. [PDF]
A short RNA oligonucleotide comprising the 5' splice site consensus sequence (5'SS RNA oligo) efficiently inhibits splicing of mRNA precursors in HeLa cell nuclear extracts. Addition of 5'SS RNA oligo inhibits early, but not late, steps in the splicing reaction, affecting the process of spliceosome assembly. In the presence of 5'SS RNA oligo a majority

Dual Targeting of Mutant p53 and SNRPD2 via Engineered Exosomes Modulates Alternative Splicing to Suppress Ovarian Cancer. [PDF]
Mutant p53 drives oncogenic splicing to promote the progression of ovarian cancer by partnering with the spliceosome factor SNRPD2. Therefore, it is engineered iRGD‐exosomes to co‐deliver siRNAs against both targets. This approach restored tumor‐suppressive mRNA isoforms, effectively enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin, and ultimately blocked tumor ...

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

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.

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 ...

Anti-U5 Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) Antibodies: A Rare Anti-U snRNP Specificity
We surveyed for autoantibodies to the U small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) in sera from 1171 patients with various connective tissue diseases by immunoprecipitation assay. We found serum, termed LaJ, which principally recognized the U5 snRNP from one patient with systemic sclerosis-polymyositis overlap syndrome. Anti-LaJ serum immunoprecipitated

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.

Friend of Prmt1, FOP is a novel component of the nuclear SMN complex isolated using biotin affinity purification [PDF]
SMN (survival motor neuron protein) complexes are essential for the biogenesis of uridine-rich small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (UsnRNPs). During the biogenesis, the SMN complexes bound to UsnRNPs are transported from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, and ...

Affinity purification of spliceosomes reveals that the precursor RNA processing protein PRP8, a protein in the U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle, is a component of yeast spliceosomes. [PDF]
Nuclear pre-mRNA splicing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as in higher eukaryotes, occurs in large RNA-protein complexes called spliceosomes. The small nuclear RNA components, U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6, have been extensively studied; however, very little is known about the protein components of yeast spliceosomes. Here we use antibodies against the precursor
