Structure of a pre-mRNA branch point/3' splice site region.
We have analyzed the solution structure of RNA containing the branch point/3' splice site region of the first intervening sequence (IVS1) of human beta-globin pre-mRNA by nuclease mapping and NMR. Nuclease mapping indicates that there are two distinct structural domains: one contains the branch point region, and the other includes the 3' splice site and second exon sequences. In the branch poin...
متن کاملPre-mRNA Secondary Structure Prediction Aids Splice Site Prediction
Accurate splice site prediction is a critical component of any computational approach to gene prediction in higher organisms. Existing approaches generally use sequence-based models that capture local dependencies among nucleotides in a small window around the splice site. We present evidence that computationally predicted secondary structure of moderate length pre-mRNA subsequencies contains i...
متن کاملRole of the branch site/3'-splice site region in adenovirus-2 E1A pre-mRNA alternative splicing: evidence for 5'- and 3'-splice site co-operation.
The adenovirus E1A gene encodes five overlapping mRNAs which are processed by alternative RNA splicing from a common pre-mRNA. To characterize cis-acting sequence elements which are of importance for the alternative 5'-splice site selection deletion and substitution mutants within the intron that is common to all E1A mRNAs were constructed. Deletion of the wild-type E1A branch site/polypyrimidi...
متن کاملThermodynamic modeling of donor splice site recognition in pre-mRNA.
When eukaryotic genes are edited by the spliceosome, the first step in intron recognition is the binding of a U1 small nuclear RNA with the donor ( 5(') ) splice site. We model this interaction thermodynamically to identify splice sites. Applied to a set of 65 annotated genes, our "finding with binding" method achieves a significant separation between real and false sites. Analyzing binding pat...
متن کاملSplice site skipping in polyomavirus late pre-mRNA processing.
Polyomavirus late nuclear primary transcripts contain tandem repeats of the late strand of the viral genome, as a result of inefficient transcription termination and polyadenylation. Pre-mRNA processing involves the splicing of short noncoding late leader exons to each other (removing genome-length introns) and the splicing of the last leader to a coding body exon (such as for the major virion ...
