A sequential binding mechanism for 5′ splice site recognition and modulation for the human U1 snRNP

Abstract excerpt

Splice site recognition is essential for defining the transcriptome. Drugs like risdiplam and branaplam change how human U1 snRNP recognizes particular 5′ splice sites (5′SS) and promote U1 snRNP binding and splicing at these locations. Despite the therapeutic potential of 5′SS modulators, the complexity of their interactions and snRNP substrates have precluded defining a mechanism for 5′SS modulation. We have...
