Human spliceosomal snRNA sequence variants generate variant spliceosomes
Human pre-mRNA splicing is primarily catalyzed by the major spliceosome, comprising five small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes, U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 snRNPs, each of which contains the corresponding U-rich snRNA. These snRNAs are encoded by large gene families exhibiting significant sequence variation, but it remains unknown if most human snRNA ...

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.

Structural basis for dual roles of Aar2p in U5 snRNP assembly [PDF]
Yeast U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) is assembled via a cytoplasmic precursor that contains the U5-specific Prp8 protein but lacks the U5-specific Brr2 helicase.

A human protein required for the second step of pre-mRNA splicing is functionally related to a yeast splicing factor [PDF]
We have identified a human splicing factor required for the second step of pre-mRNA splicing. This new protein, hPrp18, is 30% identical to the yeast splicing factor Prp18.

SnapShot: Spliceosome Dynamics I
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.

Bidirectional coupling of splicing and ATM signaling in response to transcription-blocking DNA damage [PDF]
In response to DNA damage cells activate intricate protein networks to ensure genomic fidelity and tissue homeostasis. DNA damage response signaling pathways coordinate these networks and determine cellular fates, in part, by modulating RNA metabolism ...

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

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 ...
