The transition in spliceosome assembly from complex E to complex A purges surplus U1 snRNPs from alternative splice sites

Spliceosomes are assembled in stages. The first stage forms complex E, which is characterized by the presence of U1 snRNPs base-paired to the 5′ splice site, components recognizing the 3′ splice site and proteins thought to connect them. The splice sites are held in close proximity and the pre-mRNA...
