Coupling of spliceosome complexity to intron diversity
We determined that over 40 spliceosomal proteins are conserved between many fungal species and humans but were lost during the evolution of S. cerevisiae, an intron-poor yeast with unusually rigid splicing signals.

Alternative pre-mRNA splicing as a mechanism for terminating Toll-like Receptor signaling
While inflammation induced by Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling is required to combat infection, persistent inflammation can damage host tissues and contribute to a myriad of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders.

RNA-Seq analysis of splicing in Plasmodium falciparum uncovers new splice junctions, alternative splicing and splicing of antisense transcripts. [PDF]
Over 50% of genes in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest human malaria parasite, contain predicted introns, yet experimental characterization of splicing in this organism remains incomplete.

Myeloid neoplasms with isolated isochromosome 17q: a yet to be defined entity
It has been suggested that myeloid neoplasms with isolated isochromosome 17q[MN i(17q)] comprise a distinct entity with poor prognosis. However, literature reports show a considerable clinical and molecular heterogeneity.

Molecular Mechanisms of pre-mRNA Splicing through Structural Biology of the Spliceosome.
SUMMARYPrecursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is executed by the spliceosome. In the past 3 years, cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have been elucidated for a majority of the yeast spliceosomal complexes and for a few human spliceosomes.

Writing a wrong: Coupled RNA polymerase II transcription and RNA quality control [PDF]
Processing and maturation of precursor RNA species is coupled to RNA polymerase II transcription. Co-transcriptional RNA processing helps to ensure efficient and proper capping, splicing, and 3' end processing of different RNA species to help ensure ...

Structure of the human activated spliceosome in three conformational states
During each cycle of pre-mRNA splicing, the pre-catalytic spliceosome (B complex) is converted into the activated spliceosome (Bact complex), which has a well-formed active site but cannot proceed to the branching reaction.

Rapidly evolving protointrons in Saccharomyces genomes revealed by a hungry spliceosome. [PDF]
Introns are a prevalent feature of eukaryotic genomes, yet their origins and contributions to genome function and evolution remain mysterious. In budding yeast, repression of the highly transcribed intron-containing ribosomal protein genes (RPGs ...

The spliceosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex that catalyzes the removal of introns from RNA polymerase II-transcribed RNAs. Spliceosome assembly occurs in a stepwise manner through specific intermediates referred to as pre-spliceosome complexes E,
