About 10 years ago, researchers discovered a mechanism in animals that keeps the transcription of DNA to RNA running: telescripting. "The U1 snRNP complex has a dual function: as part of the ...

"Early studies demonstrated that one of the RNAs--the small nuclear RNA (snRNA) U1--base-pairs with the 5_ splice site. This RNA-RNA interaction is important for recognizing and committing the ...

RNA quality control is the active process by which ... Here the authors reveal that zinc finger protein 207 interacts with the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein to accelerate spliceosome assembly ...
