While numerous exciting non-canonical functions of metazoan snRNPs are being constantly discovered, comprehensive knowledge about the interactors of plant U1 snRNPs, as well as genetic tools to study the function of U1 snRNP in plants, is still lacking. In this study, we present the Arabidopsis U1...

Upon completion of the final step, the spliceosome dissociates so that the snRNPs may be recycled and splicing of a subsequent intron occurs. This is repeated until all the introns from the mRNA are removed, thus giving rise to the formation of the mature mRNA transcript [17, 18]. ...
These snRNAs were discovered to associate tightly with a set of proteins that are targets of autoantibodies (anti-Sm) found in patients with lupus, forming so-called Sm snRNPs (Lerner and Steitz, 1979). The Sm proteins are now known to be related to Hfq, which binds multiple ncRNAs in ...
Splicing is performed by the spliceosome, a core complex formed by five subcomplexes of snRNPs (small nuclear ribonucleoproteins), called U1, U2, U4/5 (always present as a bi‐sub‐ complex), and U6 (U from uracil rich), and they participate in different steps during splic‐ ing. Several...
Several 3′ processing factors, capping enzymes and UsnRNPs Update Recent work has shown that cleavage at a poly(A) site uncoupled from transcription is stimulated by the CTD, that this activity requires at least 26 heptad repeats and that 52 consensus heptads (YSPTSPS) work as well as the...
SnRNAs constitute a group of small molecules in the eukaryotic nucleus and are composed of approximately 50–200 nt. They combine with related proteins to form small ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), which mainly play an important role in pro- cessing RNA precursors and removing excess fragments (...
(a) What are snRNPs? (b) How are they involved in the eukaryotic mRNA splicing reaction? An mRNA has the sequence 5'-AUGCCAAUAGCACACAAAGCA-3', translating to Met-Pro-Ile-Ala-His-Lys-Ala. a. What happens if you change the first C to a G? b. What happens if you delete the firs...
Interestingly, CBs are frequently in the proximity of highly expressed genes, presumably increasing the availability of snRNPs that facilitate splicing12. In T. brucei, we identified three discrete nuclear bodies, namely a CB, a spliced leader array body (SLAB), and a novel NUFIP splicing factor...
