Spliceosomes are large and dynamic RNA-protein complexes. The major spliceosome consists of five subunits, U1, U2, U4, U6, and U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs, read "snurps ...

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

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 : ...

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 ...

The spliceosome does the genetic cutting and pasting. It is a complicated complex, made up of four major parts and more than 100 accessory proteins that come together and break apart throughout ...

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 ...

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 ...
