TLDR
The number of new proteins emerging with no prior connection to splicing was surprising and it would be premature to label these proteins as bona fide splicing factors, yet many were identified multiple times in complexes purified under diverse conditions or from different organisms.

The Spliceosome: Design Principles of a Dynamic RNP Machine

TL;DR: The spliceosome exhibits exceptional compositional and structural dynamics that are exploited during substrate-dependent complex assembly, catalytic activation, and active site remodeling in the pre-mRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nuclear-retained noncoding RNA MALAT1 regulates alternative splicing by modulating SR splicing factor phosphorylation.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a role for the long nuclear-retained regulatory RNA, MALAT1 in AS regulation and for the role for an nrRNA in the regulation of gene expression, which suggests that MALat1 regulates AS by modulating the levels of active SR proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spliceosome structure and function.

TL;DR: The extensive interplay of RNA and proteins in aligning the pre-mRNA's reactive groups, and the presence of both RNA and protein at the core of the splicing machinery, suggest that the spliceosome is an RNP enzyme, but elucidation of the precise nature of its active site awaits the generation of a high-resolution structure of its RNP core.
Journal ArticleDOI

Function of alternative splicing.

TL;DR: Evidence is now accumulating that alternative splicing coordinates physiologically meaningful changes in protein isoform expression and is a key mechanism to generate the complex proteome of multicellular organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding alternative splicing: towards a cellular code.

TL;DR: Traditional gene-by-gene investigations of alternative splicing mechanisms are now being complemented by global approaches that promise to reveal details of the nature and operation of cellular codes that are constituted by combinations of regulatory elements in pre-mRNA substrates and by cellular complements of splicing regulators, which together determine regulated splicing pathways.

The tandem affinity purification (TAP) method: a general procedure of protein complex purification.

TL;DR: The TAP method is developed as a tool that allows rapid purification under native conditions of complexes, even when expressed at their natural level, and is a very useful procedure for protein purification and proteome exploration.

Absolute quantification of proteins and phosphoproteins from cell lysates by tandem MS

TL;DR: The AQUA strategy was used to quantify low abundance yeast proteins involved in gene silencing, quantitatively determine the cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation of Ser-1126 of human separase protein, and identify kinases capable of phosphorylating Ser-1501 of separase in an in vitro kinase assay.
