RNA Splicing by the Spliceosome

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2020
The spliceosome removes introns from messenger RNA precursors (pre-mRNA). Decades of biochemistry and genetics combined with recent structural studies of the spliceosome have produced a detailed view of the mechanism of splicing. In this review, we aim to make this mechanism understandable and provide several videos of the spliceosome in action to ...

Architecture of the Spliceosome

Biochemistry, 2012
Precursor-mRNA splicing is catalyzed by an extraordinarily large and highly dynamic macromolecular assemblage termed the spliceosome. Detailed biochemical and structural study of the spliceosome presents a formidable challenge, but there has recently been significant progress made on this front highlighted by the crystal structure of a 10-subunit human

The evolution of spliceosomal introns [PDF]

open access: possibleCurrent Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2002
Although the widespread proliferation of introns in eukaryotic protein-coding genes remains one of the most poorly understood aspects of genomic architecture, major advances have emerged recently from large-scale genome sequencing projects and functional analyses of mRNA-processing events.

The Spliceosome

BioEssays, 1993
AbstractThe spliceosome is a large RNA‐protein complex that catalyses the removal of introns from nuclear pre‐mRNA. A wide range of biochemical and genetical studies shows that the spliceosome comprises three major RNA‐protein subunits, the U1, U2 and [U4/U6.U5] small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs), and an additional group of non‐snRNP ...

Spliceosomal Proteins in Plants [PDF]

open access: possible, 2008
The spliceosome is a large nuclear structure consisting of dynamically interacting RNAs and proteins. This chapter briefly reviews some of the known components and their interactions. Large-scale proteomics and gene expression studies may be required to unravel the many intricate mechanisms involved in splice site recognition and selection.

A Parallel Spliceosome

Science, 1996
In this issue of Science , Tarn and Steitz ( p. 1824 ) report the identification of two new RNAs that reside in the special spliceosome that acts on the rare AT-AC class of introns. In his Perspective, Nilsen describes why the now complete description of the RNA components of this spliceosome

Spliceosomes and Snurposomes

Science, 1991
In cell extracts, the snRNAs exist associated with proteins as small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs, pronounced «snurps»). In an in vitro splicing reaction, the snRNPs, other essential protein factors, and the pre-mRNA form a macromolecular complex known as a spliceosome.
