WHEN WE HUMANS got a first glimpse of our genome, we had good reason to question our biological complexity. Many scientists predicted we would possess some 100,000-plus genes, but sequencers finally ...
A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...
The spliceosome is a large, dynamic RNA–protein complex that catalyses intron removal in two sequential chemical reactions (Fig. 1). The chemical mechanism of intron removal, as well as the core ...
Watching fruit flies buzz around the ripe bananas in your kitchen, you might think it’s a tad ludicrous, mortifying even, that humans have a similar number of genes—about 23,000—as the lowly insects.
In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...

Two structural variants of the RNaseH-like domain of the highly conserved spliceosomal protein Prp8 are correlated with Prp8 mutants that stabilize either the first- or second-step active sites of the ...
The eukaryotic spliceosome is a multi-megadalton ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex found in eukaryotic nuclei that catalyzes the removal of introns (non-coding regions) from pre-mRNA and splices exons ...
