The Galej Group at EMBL Grenoble has published new structural insights into minor spliceosome function in the journal Molecular Cell.

The spliceosome removes introns using a two-step process that results in the intron RNA having one of its ends joined to its middle, forming a circle with a tail that looks like a cowboy’s “lariat,” ...

The excision of introns from RNA is not a concerted process, but is rather an ordered one involving two transesterification reactions by the spliceosome. In the first step, the 5′-splice site is ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing ...
