U1 snRNA Rewrites the “Script”
نویسندگان
چکیده
Expression of eukaryotic mRNAs requires the collaboration of a host of RNA processing factors acting upon the transcript. Berg et al. describe how a pre-mRNA splicing factor modulates the activity of the polyadenylation machinery to regulate mRNA length, with important implications for isoform expression in activated neuronal and immune cells.

Human U1 snRNA forms a new chromatin-associated snRNP with TAF15
The U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA)--in the form of the U1 spliceosomal Sm small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) that contains seven Sm and three U1-specific RNP proteins-has a crucial function in the recognition and removal of pre-messenger RNA introns. Here, we show that a fraction of human U1 snRNA specifically associates with the nuclear RNA-binding protein TBP-associated factor 15 ...
متن کاملNucleotide sequences of two soybean U1 snRNA genes.
Southern blot analyses show that the soybean genome contains many U1 snRNA genes, both in tandem arrays and as isolated genes. We have cloned and sequenced two soybean U1 snRNA genes, U1a and U1b, which represent distinct multicopy tandem repeat elements. Sequence analysis of the first 46 nt of soybean embryo protoplast U1 snRNA by primer extension shows that sequences corresponding to U1a and ...
متن کاملGene expression profiling reveals U1 snRNA regulates cancer gene expression
U1 small nuclear RNA (U1 snRNA), as one of the most abundant ncRNAs in human cells, plays an important role in splicing of pre-mRNAs. Compared to previous studies which have focused on the primary function of U1 snRNA and the neurodegenerative diseases caused by abnormalities of U1 snRNA, this study is to investigate how U1 snRNA over-expression affects the expression of mammal genes on a genom...
متن کاملActivation of interferon regulatory factor-3 via toll-like receptor 3 and immunomodulatory functions detected in A549 lung epithelial cells exposed to misplaced U1-snRNA
U1-snRNA is an integral part of the U1 ribonucleoprotein pivotal for pre-mRNA splicing. Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling has recently been associated with immunoregulatory capacities of U1-snRNA. Using lung A549 epithelial/carcinoma cells, we report for the first time on interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3 activation initiated by endosomally delivered U1-snRNA. This was associated with expre...
متن کاملThe U1, U2 and U5 snRNAs crosslink to the 5′ exon during yeast pre-mRNA splicing
Activation of pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing requires 5' splice site recognition by U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), which is replaced by U5 and U6 snRNA. Here we use crosslinking to investigate snRNA interactions with the 5' exon adjacent to the 5' splice site, prior to the first step of splicing. U1 snRNA was found to interact with four different 5' exon positions using one specific seque...
