The DEAH-box NTPase Prp43 and its cofactors Ntr1 and Ntr2 form the NTR complex and are required for disassembling intron-lariat spliceosomes (ILS) and defective earlier spliceosomes.

Cloning and tissue expression of alternative spliceosome in chicken G-protein alpha subunit gene
In order to research deeply the transcription and splicing situations of chicken G-protein alpha subunit gene (GNAS), we used 5´ and 3´ rapid-amplification cDNA end (RACE) technology to clone and sequence the chicken GNAS gene, and used quantitative ...

Therapeutic Targeting of Alternative Splicing: A New Frontier in Cancer Treatment
The ability for cells to harness alternative splicing enables them to diversify their proteome in order to carry out complex biological functions and adapt to external and internal stimuli. The spliceosome is the multiprotein-RNA complex charged with the

The spliceosome as a transposon sensor [PDF]
The ability to distinguish self from non-self nucleic acids enables eukaryotes to suppress mobile elements and maintain genome integrity. In organisms from protist to human, this function is performed by RNA silencing pathways. There have been major advances in our understanding of the RNA silencing machinery, but the mechanisms by which these pathways

Alternative Spliceosome Assembly Pathways Revealed by Single-Molecule Fluorescence Microscopy
Removal of introns from nascent transcripts (pre-mRNAs) by the spliceosome is an essential step in eukaryotic gene expression. Previous studies have suggested that the earliest steps in spliceosome assembly in yeast are highly ordered and the stable ...

RNAtomy of the Spliceosome's heart [PDF]
In his 1543 monumental work De humanis corpori fabrica , Andreas Vesalius used rigorous dissection practices and a mechanistic view of the organ's function to provide the first accurate anatomical description of a human heart. Guided by similar principles of meticulous structural probing and mechanistic explanatory potential, Anokhina and colleagues in

The MUC1 extracellular domain subunit is found in nuclear speckles and associates with spliceosomes. [PDF]
MUC1 is a large transmembrane glycoprotein and oncogene expressed by epithelial cells and overexpressed and underglycosylated in cancer cells. The MUC1 cytoplasmic subunit (MUC1-C) can translocate to the nucleus and regulate gene expression.

Srsf10 and the minor spliceosome control tissue-specific and dynamic SR protein expression
Minor and major spliceosomes control splicing of distinct intron types and are thought to act largely independent of one another. SR proteins are essential splicing regulators mostly connected to the major spliceosome.

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 ...
