Structure of the spliceosomal U4 snRNP core domain and its implication for snRNP biogenesis

The spliceosome is a dynamic macromolecular machine that assembles on pre-mRNA substrates and catalyses the excision of non-coding intervening sequences (introns)1-3. Four of the five major components of the spliceosome, U1, U2, U4 and U5 snRNPs, contain seven Sm proteins (SmB/B’, SmD1, SmD2, SmD3,...
