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 : ...
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 ...
This process is controlled by a large protein-RNA complex called the spliceosome. MIT biologists have now discovered a new layer of regulation that helps to determine which sites on the messenger ...
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 ...
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 mRNA undergoes a number of processing events after transcription. A molecular machine called the spliceosome removes non-coding portions called introns from the transcript. The mRNA can undergo a ...
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 ...
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 ...
