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 recruitment of U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) to the 5' splice site necessarily precedes recruitment of U2 snRNP to the branch...
متن کاملNetwork of coregulated spliceosome components revealed by zebrafish mutant in recycling factor p110.
The spliceosome cycle consists of assembly, catalysis, and recycling phases. Recycling of postspliceosomal U4 and U6 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) requires p110/SART3, a general splicing factor. In this article, we report that the zebrafish earl grey (egy) mutation maps in the p110 gene and results in a phenotype characterized by thymus hypoplasia, other organ-specific defects, and ...
متن کاملPrp2-mediated protein rearrangements at the catalytic core of the spliceosome as revealed by dcFCCS.
The compositional and conformational changes during catalytic activation of the spliceosome promoted by the DEAH box ATPase Prp2 are only poorly understood. Here, we show by dual-color fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (dcFCCS) that the binding affinity of several proteins is significantly changed during the Prp2-mediated transition of precatalytic B(act) spliceosomes to catalytically...
متن کاملPharmacological inhibition of the spliceosome subunit SF3b triggers EJC-independent NMD
Spliceostatin A, meayamycin, and pladienolide B are small molecules that target the SF3b subunit of spliceosomal U2 snRNP. These compounds are attracting much attention as tools to manipulate splicing and potential anti-cancer drugs. We investigated the effects of these inhibitors on mRNA transport and stability in human cells. Upon splicing inhibition unspliced pre-mRNAs accumulated in the nuc...
متن کاملSpliceosome Database: a tool for tracking components of the spliceosome
The spliceosome is the extremely complex macromolecular machine responsible for pre-mRNA splicing. It assembles from five U-rich small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and over 200 proteins in a highly dynamic fashion. One important challenge to studying the spliceosome is simply keeping track of all these proteins, a situation further complicated by the variety of names and identifiers that exist in the ...
