Abstract excerpt
Splicing is an essential cellular process to generate mature transcripts from pre-mRNA. It requires the splice factor U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U1), which promotes exon recognition by base-pairing interaction with the splice donor site (SD). After U1 dissociation, exon recognition is maintained by U6 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (U6). It has been shown that SD mutations lower the binding affinity of...
