Trans-splicing and operons.

About 70% of C. elegans mRNAs are trans-spliced to one of two 22 nucleotide spliced leaders. SL1 is used to trim off the 5' ends of pre-mRNAs and replace them with the SL1 sequence. This processing event is very closely related to cis-splicing, or intron removal. The SL1 sequence is donated by a 100 nt small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP). This snRNP is structurally and functionally...

Operons and SL2 trans-splicing exist in nematodes outside the genus Caenorhabditis.

The genomes of most eukaryotes are composed of genes arranged on the chromosomes without regard to function, with each gene transcribed from a promoter at its 5' end. However, the genome of the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans contains numerous polycistronic clusters similar to bacterial operons in which the genes are transcribed sequentially from a single promoter at the 5' end of t...

Self-splicing and trans-splicing ribozymes

The Journal of Clinical Investigation | August 2003 | Volume 112 | Number 3 The splicing activity of Group I and Group II introns can be harnessed as a molecular tool that may potentially revise any gene of interest. Although hurdles remain, progress has been made in the development of these ribozymes for therapeutic application. While gene therapy is showing promise in the treatment of some di...

Trans-splicing and operons in metazoans: translational control in maternally regulated development and recovery from growth arrest.

Polycistronic mRNAs transcribed from operons are resolved via the trans-splicing of a spliced-leader (SL) RNA. Trans-splicing also occurs at monocistronic transcripts. The phlyogenetically sporadic appearance of trans-splicing and operons has made the driving force(s) for their evolution in metazoans unclear. Previous work has proposed that germline expression drives operon organization in Caen...
