Abstract excerpt
The assembly of spliceosomal U snRNPs depends on the coordinated action of PRMT5 and SMN complexes in vivo. These trans-acting factors enable the faithful delivery of seven Sm proteins onto snRNA and the formation of the common core of snRNPs. To gain mechanistic insight into their mode of action, we reconstituted the assembly machinery from recombinant sources. We uncover a stepwise and ordered formation of...
