Abstract

Detailed knowledge of the composition and structure of the spliceosome and its assembly intermediates is a prerequisite for understanding the complex process of pre-mRNA splicing. To this end, we have developed a tobramycin affinity-selection method that is generally applicable for the purification of native RNP complexes. By using this method, we have isolated human prespliceosomes that are ideally suited for both biochemical and structural studies. MS identified >70 prespliceosome-associated proteins, including nearly all known U1 and U2 snRNP proteins, and expected non-snRNP splicing factors. In addition, the DEAD-box protein p68, RNA helicase A, and a number of proteins that appear to perform multiple functions in the cell, such as YB-1 and TLS, were detected. Several previously uncharacterized proteins of unknown function were also identified, suggesting that they play a role in splicing and potentially act during prespliceosome assembly. These data provide insight into the complexity of the splicing machinery at an early stage of its assembly.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
