Structural basis for dual roles of Aar2p in U5 snRNP assembly [PDF]
Yeast U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) is assembled via a cytoplasmic precursor that contains the U5-specific Prp8 protein but lacks the U5-specific Brr2 helicase.

Spliceosome structure and function.
Pre-mRNA splicing is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a multimegadalton ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex comprised of five snRNPs and numerous proteins.

Therapeutic potential of CDK11 in cancer
Human cyclin‐dependent kinases (CDKs) direct the progression of the cell cycle and transcription. They are deregulated in tumours, and despite their involvement in the regulation of basic cellular processes, many CDKs are promising targets for cancer ...

The spliceosome inhibitors isoginkgetin and pladienolide B induce ATF3-dependent cell death.
The spliceosome assembles on pre-mRNA in a stepwise manner through five successive pre-spliceosome complexes. The spliceosome functions to remove introns from pre-mRNAs to generate mature mRNAs that encode functional proteins.

SF3b4: A Versatile Player in Eukaryotic Cells
Spliceosomes are large protein-RNA complexes regulating pre-mRNA processing in eukaryotes. SF3b4 encodes a core subunit of the U2-type spliceosome, loss- or gain-of-function of which often associates with abnormal cell growth, leading to tumorigenesis ...

Mechanism of 5ʹ splice site transfer for human spliceosome activation
Creation of the splicing catalytic center The catalytic center of the fully assembled, precatalytic pre–B spliceosome is not yet formed, even though all the pieces are present in this complex. Charenton et al.

Transcriptome Analysis of the Cerebellum of Mice Fed a Manganese-Deficient Diet
Manganese (Mn), primarily acquired through diet, is required for brain function and development. Epidemiological studies have found an association between both low and high levels of Mn and impaired neurodevelopment in children.

Pre-mRNA splicing-associated diseases and therapies
Precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is an essential step in human gene expression and is carried out by a large macromolecular machine called the spliceosome.

Mechanism of protein-guided folding of the active site U2/U6 RNA during spliceosome activation
Splicing machine shifts into gear Spliceosome activation involves extensive protein exchanges and RNA rearrangements that lead to the formation of a catalytically active U2/U6 RNA structure called Bact.
