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

What's the difference between mRNA and pre-mRNA? It's all about splicing of introns. See how one RNA sequence can exist in nearly 40,000 different forms. Next, the snRNPs U2 and U4/U6 appear to ...

A sophisticated molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures the accurate assembly of genetic information from the genome into ...

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

The fit between a splice site and the spliceosome components that bind it influences splicing activity. Strong splice sites closely match consensus sequences and are efficiently recognized by the ...

Together, these snRNAs and proteins form small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs), setting the stage for splicing. 1 The traditional view posits that spliceosome formation is a stepwise ...

Shown is the splicing pathway. The pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) has exons (blue) and introns (pink). The spliceosome (not shown) was known to catalyze two chemical reactions (black arrows ...

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 is a basic requirement for producing proteins that fulfill an organism’s vital functions. Faulty functioning of a spliceosome can lead to a variety of serious diseases. Researchers at ...
