Spliceosomal snRNA Epitranscriptomics [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are critical components of the spliceosome that catalyze the splicing of pre-mRNA. snRNAs are each complexed with many proteins to form RNA-protein complexes, termed as small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), in the cell ...

Structure of a step II catalytically activated spliceosome from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal
Pre-mRNA splicing, a fundamental step in eukaryotic gene expression, is executed by the spliceosomes. While there is extensive knowledge of the composition and structure of spliceosomes in yeasts and humans, the structural diversity of spliceosomes in ...

Crosstalk between chromatin state and ATM signalling in DNA damage-induced transcription stress [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal
The DNA Damage Response (DDR) is a highly regulated process that safeguards genomic integrity against DNA lesions. Increasing evidence supports a reciprocal relationship between damaged chromatin architecture and the signalling pathways that coordinate ...

PRPF8-mediated dysregulation of hBrr2 helicase disrupts human spliceosome kinetics and 5´-splice-site selection causing tissue-specific defects [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
The carboxy-terminus of the spliceosomal protein PRPF8, which regulates the RNA helicase Brr2, is a hotspot for mutations causing retinitis pigmentosa-type 13, with unclear role in human splicing and tissue-specificity mechanism.

SnapShot: Spliceosome Dynamics II

open access: bronzeCell, 2015
Spliceosomes are multi-megadalton RNA-protein molecular machines that carry out pre-mRNA splicing, that is, the removal of non-coding intervening sequences (introns) from eukaryotic pre-mRNAs and the ligation of neighboring coding regions (exons) to produce mature mRNA for protein biosynthesis on the ribosome.

Identification of the TSSK4 Alternative Spliceosomes and Analysis of the Function of the TSSK4 Protein in Yak (Bos grunniens)

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
In mammals, the testis-specific serine/threonine kinase (TSSK) is essential for spermatogenesis and male fertility. TSSK4 belongs to the family of the testis-specific serine/threonine-protein kinase (TSSK), with a crucial role in spermatogenesis.

Spliceosomal immunophilins [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2008
The spliceosome is a dynamic, macromolecular complex, which removes non‐protein‐coding introns from pre‐mRNA to form mature mRNA in a process known as splicing. This ribonucleoprotein assembly is comprised of five uridine‐rich small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) as well as over 300 proteins.

Spliceosomal intronogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016
Significance Eukaryotic transcripts contain spliceosomal introns that need to be removed by pre-mRNA splicing. Although several models have been proposed to identify the mechanism of intron gain over the evolution of eukaryotes, they remain models due to a lack of experimental validation.
