The minor spliceosome: Researchers reveal new structural insights into an essential RNA-protein complex
In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...
Spliceosome: How cells avoid errors when manufacturing mRNA
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 ...

RNA Splicing: Introns, Exons and Spliceosome
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 ...

Study reveals plants have mechanism for protein blueprint monitoring that was thought to exist only in animal cells
"The U1 snRNP complex has a dual function: as part of the spliceosome, it helps to ensure that relevant gene information is properly spliced together. It also ensures that the transcription ...
