Abstract excerpt
The pre-mRNA splicing factor SF3b1 exhibits recurrent mutations among hematologic malignancies and cancers, and consequently is a major therapeutic target of clinically-advanced spliceosome inhibitors. In this review, we highlight and rigorously analyze emerging views of SF3b1 conformational transitions, including the human SF3b particle either in isolation or bound to spliceosome inhibitors, and human or yeast...
