MDF is a conserved splicing factor and modulates cell division and stress response in Arabidopsis
Life Science Alliance, 2023 MDF acts like its human homolog SART1 as a splicing factor that is important for maintenance of genome stability and correct splicing and expression of genes involved in cell division and stress response.

Molecular architecture of the human U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP
Science, 2016 A human spliceosomal subcomplex The spliceosome is an RNA and protein molecular machine that cuts out introns from messenger RNAs. Agafonov et al. used cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structure of the largest intermediate subcomplex on the assembly pathway for the ...

U4/U5/U6 snRNP recognizes the 5' splice site in the absence of U2 snRNP. [PDF]
Genes & Development, 1994 Using an in vitro system in which a 5' splice site (5'SS) RNA oligo (AAG decreases GUAAGUAdT) is capable of inducing formation of U2/U4/U5/U6 snRNP complex we show that this oligo specifically binds to U4/U5/U6 snRNP and cross-links to U6 snRNA in the absence of U2 snRNP.

Alternative Spliceosome Assembly Pathways Revealed by Single-Molecule Fluorescence Microscopy
Cell Reports, 2013 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 ...

RNA-Seq analysis of splicing in Plasmodium falciparum uncovers new splice junctions, alternative splicing and splicing of antisense transcripts. [PDF]
, 2011 Over 50% of genes in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest human malaria parasite, contain predicted introns, yet experimental characterization of splicing in this organism remains incomplete.

A role for the Cajal-body-associated SUMO isopeptidase USPL1 in snRNA transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II [PDF]
, 2014 Cajal bodies are nuclear structures that are involved in biogenesis of snRNPs and snoRNPs, maintenance of telomeres and processing of histone mRNA. Recently, the SUMO isopeptidase USPL1 was identified as a component of Cajal bodies that is essential for ...

Cwc24p is a general Saccharomyces cerevisiae splicing factor required for the stable U2 snRNP binding to primary transcripts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Splicing of primary transcripts is an essential process for the control of gene expression. Specific conserved sequences in premature transcripts are important to recruit the spliceosome machinery.

Position-dependent inhibition of the cleavage step of pre-mRNA 3'-end processing by U1 snRNP [PDF]
, 2000 The 3' ends of most eukaryotic pre-mRNAs are generated by 3' endonucleolytic cleavage and subsequent polyadenylation. 3'-end formation can be influenced positively or negatively by various factors.

Unexpected role of the steroid-deficiency protein ecdysoneless in pre-mRNA splicing. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 The steroid hormone ecdysone coordinates insect growth and development, directing the major postembryonic transition of forms, metamorphosis. The steroid-deficient ecdysoneless1 (ecd1) strain of Drosophila melanogaster has long served to assess the ...
