Widespread recognition of 5' splice sites by noncanonical base-pairing to U1 snRNA involving bulged nucleotides.
An established paradigm in pre-mRNA splicing is the recognition of the 5' splice site (5'ss) by canonical base-pairing to the 5' end of U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA). We recently reported that a small subset of 5'ss base-pair to U1 in an alternate register that is shifted by 1 nucleotide. Using genetic suppression experiments in human cells, we now demonstrate that many other 5'ss are recognized...
متن کاملExon mutations uncouple 5' splice site selection from U1 snRNA pairing.
It has previously been shown that a mutation of yeast 5' splice junctions at position 5 (GUAUGU) causes aberrant pre-mRNA cleavages near the correct 5' splice site. We show here that the addition of exon mutations to an aberrant cleavage site region transforms it into a functional 5' splice site both in vivo and in vitro. The aberrant mRNAs are translated in vivo. The results suggest that the h...
متن کاملCotranscriptional spliceosome assembly dynamics and the role of U1 snRNA:5'ss base pairing in yeast.
To investigate the mechanism of spliceosome assembly in vivo, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis of U1, U2, and U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) to intron-containing yeast (S. cerevisiae) genes. The snRNPs display patterns that indicate a cotranscriptional assembly model: U1 first, then U2, and the U4/U6*U5 tri-snRNP followed by U1 destabilization. c...
متن کاملExtended base pair complementarity between U1 snRNA and the 5′ splice site does not inhibit splicing in higher eukaryotes, but rather increases 5′ splice site recognition
Spliceosome formation is initiated by the recognition of the 5' splice site through formation of an RNA duplex between the 5' splice site and U1 snRNA. We have previously shown that RNA duplex formation between U1 snRNA and the 5' splice site can protect pre-mRNAs from degradation prior to splicing. This initial RNA duplex must be disrupted to expose the 5' splice site sequence for base pairing...
متن کاملCan donor splice site recognition occur without the involvement of U1 snRNP?
Many disease-causing mutations affecting donor splice site recognition are reported in the literature. One of the more frequently observed nucleotide changes causing aberrant splicing are due to mutations in the donor splice site which lower the strength of base pairing with U1 snRNA (small nuclear RNA). However, recent data have highlighted the possibility of a recognition mechanism for weak d...
