Abstract

A rare class of introns with AT-AC at their termini recently has been identified in metazoan genes. Splicing of these introns requires a different set of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) (U11, U12, U5, and U4atac/U6atac) compared with the snRNPs (U1, U2, U5, and U4/U6) required for splicing the majority of pre-mRNA introns, but otherwise little is known regarding the excision of AT-AC introns. Here we use site-specific 4-thiouridine (4SU) crosslinking analysis to dissect the mechanism of 5' splice site recognition during in vitro splicing of the AT-AC intron from the P120 pre-mRNA. Upon irradiation with 365-nm UV light, three P120 substrates, each with a single 4SU substitution near the 5' splice site (at position +2, +4, or +7), produce two early ATP-independent crosslinks with similar kinetics. For one of the substrates, P120-4SU+2, a third ATP-requiring crosslink forms as the two early crosslinks diminish. RNase H digestion coupled with Northern blotting indicates that the two early crosslinks generated with P120-4SU+2 contain the U11 small nuclear RNA. Reverse transcription-PCR followed by cloning and sequencing demonstrates that the third crosslink involves U6atac. The dynamic appearance of the three cros...Continue Reading

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.
