A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

After a decade of work, scientists have completed a molecular model of the human spliceosome, an incredibly complex cellular machine. When an active gene is expressed in a cell, it is transcribed into ...

Structures of aberrant spliceosome intermediates on their way to disassembly. Nature Structural & Molecular Biology , 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s41594-024-01480-7 Cite This Page : ...

Current models of spliceosome assembly come in two flavors: the first model holds that assembly involves strictly ordered, piece-by-piece construction and the second model posits that the ...

The spliceosome is composed of 5 filaments of RNA and hundreds of proteins. Among these elements, the researchers have discovered that, in yeast, the Spp42 protein ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) have created the first blueprint of the human spliceosome, the complex molecular machine that edits genetic messages transcribed from DNA ...

In the study, the Uhlirova lab used the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, a fruit fly, to investigate how cells within a developing organism respond to spliceosome malfunction.

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...
