Abstract excerpt
The pillar of faithful premature-messenger (pre-mRNA) splicing is the precise recognition of key intronic sequences by specific splicing factors. The heptameric splicing factor 3b (SF3b) recognizes the branch point sequence (BPS), a key part of the 3' splice site. SF3b contains SF3B1, a protein holding recurrent cancer-associated mutations. Among these, K700E, the most-frequent SF3B1 mutation, triggers aberrant...
