At the Intersection of Major and Minor Spliceosomes: Crosstalk Mechanisms and Their Impact on Gene Expression [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Many eukaryotic species contain two separate molecular machineries for removing non-coding intron sequences from pre-mRNA molecules. The majority of introns (more than 99.5% in humans) are recognized and excised by the major spliceosome, which utilizes ...

Phosphorylation of SF3B1 by CDK11 orchestrates spliceosome activation via SNIP1-dependent RES complex recruitment [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSplicing Factor 3b Subunit 1 (SF3B1), a core component of the spliceosome, undergoes dynamic phosphorylation and dephosphorylation during the splicing cycle to regulate pre-mRNA splicing. Twenty-eight threonine/proline repeats are phosphorylated by CDK11

Structure of a step II catalytically activated spliceosome from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
The EMBO JournalPre-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 ...

Stem Cell Research, 2017 Spliceosomes are the core host of pre-mRNA splicing, allowing multiple protein isoforms to be produced from a single gene. Herein, we reveal that spliceosomes are more abundant in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSs), including human embryonic stem cells (

Synergistic assembly of human pre-spliceosomes across introns and exons
eLife, 2018 Most human genes contain multiple introns, necessitating mechanisms to effectively define exons and ensure their proper connection by spliceosomes. Human spliceosome assembly involves both cross-intron and cross-exon interactions, but how these work ...

Spliceosomal snRNA Epitranscriptomics [PDF]
Frontiers 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 ...

Nuclear Pre-snRNA Export Is an Essential Quality Assurance Mechanism for Functional Spliceosomes
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Removal of introns from pre-mRNAs is an essential step in eukaryotic gene expression, mediated by spliceosomes that contain snRNAs as key components. Although snRNAs are transcribed in the nucleus and function in the same compartment, all except

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