Abstract excerpt
trans-Splicing in trypanosomes requires the functions of U2 and U4/U6 small nuclear (sn) RNPs. We have analyzed protein binding and assembly of the Trypanosoma brucei U2 snRNP, using specific antibodies against U2 snRNP proteins and in vitro reconstitution assays of U2 deletion derivatives and human-trypanosome hybrid RNAs. Stable binding of both the U2-specific 40-kDa and the common proteins requires only the...
