Molecular Tour
Most of the metazoan genes are interspersed with non-coding information, so called introns. A large macromolecular machinery in the nucleus, the spliceosome, removes these introns from pre-mRNA transcripts linking the coding exons, to yield functional genes for translation.

The structure and functional data of the human spliceosomal assembly factor Aar2 in complex with a core spliceosomal domain of the PRPF8 protein indicates a different function of human Aar2 in contrast to the yeast protein.
