Abstract excerpt
The spliceosome undergoes extensive rearrangements as it assembles onto precursor messenger RNAs. In the earliest assembly step, U1snRNA identifies the 5' splice site. However, U1snRNA leaves the spliceosome relatively early in assembly, and 5' splice site identity is subsequently maintained through interactions with U6snRNA, protein factor PRP8, and other components during the rearrangements that build the...
