WHEN WE HUMANS got a first glimpse of our genome, we had good reason to question our biological complexity. Many scientists predicted we would possess some 100,000-plus genes, but sequencers finally ...
A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...
The spliceosome is a large, dynamic RNA–protein complex that catalyses intron removal in two sequential chemical reactions (Fig. 1). The chemical mechanism of intron removal, as well as the core ...
In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...
New work suggests that Prp8, a highly conserved protein in the heart of the spliceosome, both orients the substrate and participates in catalysis. The U5 snRNP functions in spliceosome assembly as a ...

Humans share a comparable number of protein-coding genes with the simple roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, yet we are arguably more sophisticated organisms. This difference in complexity is thanks to ...
The eukaryotic spliceosome is a multi-megadalton ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex found in eukaryotic nuclei that catalyzes the removal of introns (non-coding regions) from pre-mRNA and splices exons ...
