On co-transcriptional splicing and U6 snRNA biogenesis
… (snRNPs). They consist of one of the U-rich snRNAs U1, U2, U4, U5 or U6 together with several particle-specific proteins and core proteins. All mRNA processing events can occur co-transcriptionally, i.e. while the RNA is still attached to the gene via Pol II. The in vivo studies of …

Conformational features of the human U2-U6 snRNA complex
… the process. A complex formed between U2 and U6 snRNAs is implicated in the chemistry of pre-mRNA splicing. The catalytic activity of the U2-U6 snRNA complex is dependent on the presence of Mg2+ ions, and the complex has been shown to have several specifically bound Mg2+ binding sites in vitro. …

Functional Analysis of Drosophila Integrator Complex In Snrna 3' End Processing
<p>Uridine-rich small nuclear RNAs (U snRNAs) play essential roles in eukaryotic gene expression by facilitating the removal of introns from mRNA precursors and the processing of the replication-dependent histone pre-mRNAs. Formation of the 3’ end of these snRNAs is carried out by a poorly …

Structure and expression of a U1 snRNA gene from Arabidopsis thaliana
U1 snRNA is one of a group of spliceosomal snRNAs that function in the removal of introns from pre-mRNA. U1 snRNA is encoded by a small multigene family in Arabidopsis, consisting of between five and eight U1 genes. U1a snRNA is unique in having an extra U residue at position +2, which occurs in …

The Role and Fate of Branch Site-U2 snRNA Interaction During Pre-mRNA Splicing
… of accessing splicing catalysis experimentally. snRNAs likely form some or all of the spliceosomal active site. We attempted to establish an snRNA-only splicing system as a means to bypass assembly and recapitulate splicing catalysis. Our approach, however, yielded a 2'-3' bondforming ribozyme …

Conformation of the U12-U6atac snRNA Complex of the Minor Spliceosome and Binding by NTC-related Protein RBM22
… (U1, U2, U4, U5 and U6) and >100 proteins. snRNA components catalyze the two transesterification reactions while proteins perform critical roles in assembly and rearrangement. U2 and U6 snRNAs are the only snRNAs directly implicated in catalyzing the splicing of pre-mRNA. However, assembly …

Investigation of the higher order structure of the spliceosomal RNA network
… durch eine Fe-BABE tragende U2 snRNA untersucht. U2 snRNA nimmt eine Schlüsselstellung im nukleären prä-mRNA Spleißen ein. U2 snRNA trägt eine 5'-m3G Kappenstruktur und zahlreiche interne Nukleotidmodifizierungen. Zunächst untersuchten wir den Einfluß individueller modifizierter …

Structure-Function Analysis of Human Integrator Subunit-4
… Ph.D.</p> <p>Uridine-rich small nuclear RNAs (U snRNA) are RNA Polymerase-II (RNAPII) transcripts that are ubiquitously expressed and are known to be essential for gene expression. snRNAs play a key role in mRNA splicing and in histone mRNA expression. Inaccurate snRNA biosynthesis can lead to …

Molecular analysis of peasnRNA variants
Five small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) (U1, U2, U4, U5, U6) found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells mediate the excision of introns from pre-mRNAs. The structure and expression of the snRNA components have been well documented in animal and yeast systems but little information has existed on the …

Scaling up Genetic Circuits in Mammalian Cells: A U1-snRNA-based Platform Enables Mammalian Cells to Compute the Bitwise Inversion of the Square Root of a Number
… NOT gate based on a platform that uses the U1 snRNA. We have called this platform "u.P.R.O.C.E.S.S.O.R." (U-gene-based Platform, RNAi-regulated Only, Compactly Employing Small Shuttle-miRNAs, Operates (through) RNA), which does not use any transcriptional regulators or exogenous proteins, which …

Sequences and factors required for 5' splice site selection in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
… undertook a systematic study of the region of U1 snRNA complementary to the 5$\sp\prime$ splice site in S. pombe with the goal of expanding our knowledge of how this sequence functions in pre-catalytic events in pre-mRNA splicing. To determine the contribution to U1 function of each position …

A Cell Biological Determination of Integrator Subunit Localization
<p>Uridine-rich small nuclear (U snRNAs), with the exception of the U6 snRNA, are RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcripts. The mechanism of 3’ cleavage of snRNAs has been unknown until recently. This area was greatly advanced when 12 of the Integrator complex subunits (IntS) were purified in 2005 …
