Exon definition complexes contain the tri-snRNP and can be directly converted into B-like precatalytic splicing complexes.
The first step in splicing of pre-mRNAs with long introns is exon definition, where U1 and U2 snRNPs bind at opposite ends of an exon. After exon definition, these snRNPs must form a complex across the upstream intron to allow splicing catalysis. Exon definition and conversion of cross-exon to cross-intron spliceosomal complexes are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that, in addition to U1...
متن کاملSpatial mapping of splicing factor complexes involved in exon and intron definition
We have analyzed the interaction between serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins and splicing components that recognize either the 5' or 3' splice site. Previously, these interactions have been extensively characterized biochemically and are critical for both intron and exon definition. We use fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy to identify interactions of individual SR proteins...
متن کاملFunctional spliceosomal A complexes can be assembled in vitro in the absence of a penta-snRNP.
Two different models currently exist for the assembly pathway of the spliceosome, namely, the traditional model, in which spliceosomal snRNPs associate in a stepwise, ordered manner with the pre-mRNA, and the holospliceosome model, in which all spliceosomal snRNPs preassemble into a penta-snRNP complex. Here we have tested whether the spliceosomal A complex, which contains solely U1 and U2 snRN...
متن کاملStable tri-snRNP integration is accompanied by a major structural rearrangement of the spliceosome that is dependent on Prp8 interaction with the 5' splice site.
Exon definition is the predominant initial spliceosome assembly pathway in higher eukaryotes, but it remains much less well-characterized compared to the intron-defined assembly pathway. Addition in trans of an excess of 5'ss containing RNA to a splicing reaction converts a 37S exon-defined complex, formed on a single exon RNA substrate, into a 45S B-like spliceosomal complex with stably integr...
متن کاملAssociation of nuclear matrix antigens with exon-containing splicing complexes
mAbs raised against the human nuclear matrix (anti-NM)1 mAbs have been used to investigate the role of nuclear matrix antigens in pre-mRNA processing. The three anti-NM mAbs used in this study recognize antigens that are highly localized to nuclear matrix speckles. Surprisingly, all three of these mAbs preferentially immunoprecipitate splicing complexes containing exon sequences. The anti-NM mA...
