Abstract

We have used a site-specific cross-linking strategy to identify RNA and protein factors that interact with the 5' splice site region during mammalian pre-mRNA splicing. Two different pre-mRNA substrates were synthesized with a single 32P-labeled 4-thiouridine residue 2 nucleotides upstream of the 5' splice site. Selective photoactivation of the 4-thiouridine residue after incubation of either substrate under splicing conditions in HeLa nuclear extract resulted in cross-links to the U5 snRNA and the U5 snRNP protein p220. These ATP-dependent interactions occur before the first step of splicing. The U5 snRNA cross-links map to a phylogenetically invariant 9-nucleotide loop sequence and do not require Watson-Crick complementarity to the 5' exon. Cross-links of this position in the pre-mRNA to U1, but not to U2, U4, or U6 snRNAs, were also observed. The kinetics of U1 and U5 cross-link formation are similar, both peaking well before reaction intermediates appear.

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.
