The type 2C Ser/Thr phosphatase PP2C gamma is a pre-mRNA splicing factor [PDF]
To identify activities involved in human pre-mRNA splicing, we have developed a procedure to separate HeLa cell nuclear extract into five complementing fractions.

CryoEM structure of the spliceosome immediately after branching
Precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) splicing proceeds by two consecutive transesterification reactions via a lariat–intron intermediate. Here we present the 3.8 Å cryo-electron microscopy structure of the spliceosome immediately after lariat formation.

Global spliceosome activity regulates entry into cellular senescence
Cellular senescence is a state of permanent growth arrest that can ultimately contribute to aging. Senescence can be induced by various stressors and is associated with a myriad of cellular functions and phenotypic markers.

Clinical impact of splicing in neurodevelopmental disorders. [PDF]
Clinical exome sequencing is frequently used to identify gene-disrupting variants in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. While splice-disrupting variants are known to contribute to these disorders, clinical interpretation of cryptic splice ...

Identification of Five Putative Yeast RNA Helicase Genes [PDF]
The RNA helicase gene family encodes a group of eight homologous proteins that share regions of sequence similarity. This group of evolutionarily conserved proteins presumably all utilize ATP (or some other nucleoside triphosphate) as an energy source ...

Thermoconditional modulation of the pleiotropic sensitivity phenotype by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PRP19 mutant allele pso4-1 [PDF]
The conditionally-lethal pso4-1 mutant allele of the spliceosomal-associated PRP19 gene allowed us to study this gene’s influence on pre-mRNA processing, DNA repair and sporulation.

Myelodysplastic syndrome-associated spliceosome gene mutations enhance innate immune signaling
Genes encoding spliceosome components including SF3B1, U2AF1 , and SRSF2 , are frequently somatically mutated in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), other hematologic malignancies, and solid tumors.[1][1] Typically these are mutually exclusive, heterozygous,

The nuclear GYF protein CD2BP2/U5–52K is required for T cell homeostasis
The question whether interference with the ubiquitous splicing machinery can lead to cell-type specific perturbation of cellular function is addressed here by T cell specific ablation of the general U5 snRNP assembly factor CD2BP2/U5–52K.

Interaction of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G with the nuclear cap-binding complex provides a link between nuclear and cytoplasmic functions of the m7 guanosine cap [PDF]
In eukaryotes the majority of mRNAs have an m7G cap that is added cotranscriptionally and that plays an important role in many aspects of mRNA metabolism.
