Structural highlights
Function[RU2A_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Associates to U2 snRNA in a MSL1 dependent manner and is required for normal accumulation of U2 snRNA. Required for the spliceosome assembly and the efficient addition of U2 snRNP onto the pre-mRNA.[1] [PRP42_YEAST] Essential component of the U1 snRNP particle, which recognizes and binds the 5'-splice site of pre-mRNA. Together with other non-snRNP factors, U1 snRNP forms the spliceosomal commitment complex, that targets pre-mRNA to the splicing pathway. U1 snRNP is cotranscriptionally recruited to intron-containing genes. Required for U1 snRNP biogenesis.[2] [3] [SMD3_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds snRNA U1, U2, U4 and U5 which contain a highly conserved structural motif called the Sm binding site. Also binds telomerase RNA and is required for its accumulation.[4] [5] [RDS3_YEAST] Required for pre-mRNA splicing. Involved in regulation of drug sensitivity and may play a role in multidrug resistance.[6] [7] [PRP9_YEAST] mRNA splicing factors, PRP9, PRP11, and PRP21, are necessary for binding of the U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA in an early step of spliceosome assembly. [SMD1_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds snRNA U1, U2, U4 and U5 which contain a highly conserved structural motif called the Sm binding site. Also binds telomerase RNA and is required for its accumulation.[8] [9] [HSH49_YEAST] Possible SF3b-like factor. [RUXE_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds and is required for the stability of snRNA U1, U2, U4 and U5 which contain a highly conserved structural motif called the Sm binding site. Involved in cap modification.[10] [RSMB_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds snRNA U1, U2, U4 and U5 which contain a highly conserved structural motif called the Sm binding site. [RUXF_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds snRNA U1, U2, U4 and U5 which contain a highly conserved structural motif called the Sm binding site. [RSE1_YEAST] Involved in G2/M transition (By similarity). Required for pre-mRNA splicing and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi secretion pathway. U2 snRNPs associated protein required for the pre-spliceosome assembly. The involvement in ER to Golgi secretion is probably indirect and due to the splicing of the pre-mRNA coding for SAR1, a small GTP-binding protein required for COPII vesicle formation from the ER.[11] [12] [PRP21_YEAST] mRNA splicing factors, PRP9, PRP11, and PRP21, are necessary for binding of the U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA in an early step of spliceosome assembly. [YSF3_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Required for the SF3b integrity and prespliceosome assembly.[13] [LUC7_YEAST] Component of the U1 snRNP particle, which recognizes and binds the 5'-splice site of pre-mRNA. Together with other non-snRNP factors, U1 snRNP forms the spliceosomal commitment complex, that targets pre-mRNA to the splicing pathway.[14] [15] [SMD2_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds snRNA U1, U2, U4 and U5 which contain a highly conserved structural motif called the Sm binding site. [SF3B1_YEAST] Contacts pre-mRNA on both sides of the branch site early in spliceosome assembly. [MSL1_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. This protein is associated with snRNP U2. It binds stem loop IV of U2 snRNA.[16] [RUXG_YEAST] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds snRNA U1, U2, U4 and U5 which contain a highly conserved structural motif called the Sm binding site. [PRP39_YEAST] Function prior to stable branch point recognition by the U1 snRNP particle to facilitate or stabilize the U1 snRNP/5'-splice site interaction. Has a direct role in the assembly or function of a catalytically active spliceosome. [RU1A_YEAST] Involved in nuclear mRNA splicing. The principal role of the U1A is to help fold or maintain U1 RNA in an active configuration. It is the first snRNP to interact with pre-mRNA. This interaction is required for the subsequent binding of U2 snRNP and the U4/U6/U5 tri-snRNP.[17] [18] [SNU56_YEAST] Component of the U1 snRNP particle, which recognizes and binds the 5'-splice site of pre-mRNA. Together with other non-snRNP factors, U1 snRNP forms the spliceosomal commitment complex, that targets pre-mRNA to the splicing pathway. [SNU71_YEAST] Component of the U1 snRNP particle, which recognizes and binds the 5'-splice site of pre-mRNA. Together with other non-snRNP factors, U1 snRNP forms the spliceosomal commitment complex, that targets pre-mRNA to the splicing pathway.[19] [CUS1_YEAST] Essential splicing protein required for U2 snRNP binding to pre-mRNA during spliceosome assembly. [NAM8_YEAST] Acts as a suppressor of mitochondrial splicing deficiencies when overexpressed. Could be a non-essential component of the mitochondrial splicing machinery. [RU17_YEAST] Involved in nuclear mRNA splicing. [PRP11_YEAST] mRNA splicing factors, PRP9, PRP11, and PRP21, are necessary for addition of the U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA in an early step of spliceosome assembly.[20] [RU1C_YEAST] Component of the spliceosomal U1 snRNP, which is essential for recognition of the pre-mRNA 5' splice-site and the subsequent assembly of the spliceosome. YHC1/U1-C is directly involved in initial 5' splice-site recognition for both constitutive and regulated alternative splicing. The interaction with the 5' splice-site seems to precede base-pairing between the pre-mRNA and the U1 snRNA. Stimulates commitment or early (E) complex formation by stabilizing the base pairing of the 5' end of the U1 snRNA and the 5' splice-site region.[21] [22] [23] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe spliceosome catalyses the excision of introns from pre-mRNA in two steps, branching and exon ligation, and is assembled from five small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs; U1, U2, U4, U5, U6) and numerous non-snRNP factors(1). For branching, the intron 5' splice site and the branch point sequence are selected and brought by the U1 and U2 snRNPs into the prespliceosome(1), which is a focal point for regulation by alternative splicing factors(2). The U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP subsequently joins the prespliceosome to form the complete pre-catalytic spliceosome. Recent studies have revealed the structural basis of the branching and exon-ligation reactions(3), however, the structural basis of the early events in spliceosome assembly remains poorly understood(4). Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae prespliceosome at near-atomic resolution. The structure reveals an induced stabilization of the 5' splice site in the U1 snRNP, and provides structural insights into the functions of the human alternative splicing factors LUC7-like (yeast Luc7) and TIA-1 (yeast Nam8), both of which have been linked to human disease(5,6). In the prespliceosome, the U1 snRNP associates with the U2 snRNP through a stable contact with the U2 3' domain and a transient yeast-specific contact with the U2 SF3b-containing 5' region, leaving its tri-snRNP-binding interface fully exposed. The results suggest mechanisms for 5' splice site transfer to the U6 ACAGAGA region within the assembled spliceosome and for its subsequent conversion to the activation-competent B-complex spliceosome(7,8). Taken together, the data provide a working model to investigate the early steps of spliceosome assembly.
