Multiple domains of U1 snRNA, including U1 specific protein binding sites, are required for splicing.

Abstract excerpt

Domains of U1 snRNA which are functionally important have been identified using a splicing complementation assay in Xenopus oocytes. Mutations in, and deletions of, all three of the hairpin loop structures near the 5' end of the RNA are strongly deleterious. Similarly, mutation of the Sm binding site abolishes complementation activity. Analysis of the protein binding properties of the mutant U1 snRNAs reveals...
