Abstract

We demonstrate that four different proteins from calf thymus are able to restore splicing in the same splicing-deficient extract using several different pre-mRNA substrates. These proteins are members of a conserved family of proteins recognized by a monoclonal antibody that binds to active sites of RNA polymerase II transcription. We purified this family of nuclear phosphoproteins to apparent homogeneity by two salt precipitations. The family, called SR proteins for their serine- and arginine-rich carboxy-terminal domains, consists of at least five different proteins with molecular masses of 20, 30, 40, 55, and 75 kD. Microsequencing revealed that they are related but not identical. In four of the family members a repeated protein sequence that encompasses an RNA recognition motif was observed. We discuss the potential role of this highly conserved, functionally related set of proteins in pre-mRNA splicing.

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.
