Abstract excerpt
Conformational change within the spliceosome is required between the first catalytic step of pre-mRNA splicing, when the branch site attacks the 5' splice site (SS), and the second step, when the 5' exon attacks the 3'SS. Little is known, however, about repositioning of the reaction substrates during this transition. Whereas the 5'SS is positioned for the first step by pairing with the invariant U6 snRNA-ACAGAG...
