mRNA cis splicing, via spliceosome
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The joining together, after removal of an intervening sequence composed of one or more introns, of two segments of the same RNA molecule via spliceosomal catalysis to produce an mRNA composed only of exon sequences that all came from the same primary transcript. [GOC:krc, ISBN:0879695897, PMID:18458335]
mRNA cis-splicing is a fundamental process in gene expression that occurs within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It involves the removal of non-coding sequences called introns from a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) molecule, and the joining of the remaining coding sequences called exons, to produce a mature mRNA molecule. This process is carried out by a complex molecular machinery called the spliceosome, a dynamic ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex composed of small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and numerous proteins.
The spliceosome assembly and splicing process can be broadly divided into several steps:
1. **Recognition of splice sites:** The spliceosome initially recognizes specific nucleotide sequences at the 5' splice site, the 3' splice site, and the branch point sequence within the intron. These sequences are highly conserved and provide the necessary signals for splicing.
2. **Spliceosome assembly:** The spliceosome assembles step-by-step, starting with the binding of the U1 snRNP to the 5' splice site. Subsequently, the U2 snRNP binds to the branch point sequence, followed by the recruitment of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex.
3. **First transesterification reaction:** The assembled spliceosome catalyzes the first transesterification reaction. This reaction involves the cleavage of the phosphodiester bond at the 5' splice site and the joining of the 5' end of the intron to the 2'-hydroxyl group of an adenine residue within the branch point sequence. This forms a lariat structure, a looped intron with a 2',5'-phosphodiester bond.
4. **Second transesterification reaction:** The second transesterification reaction involves the cleavage of the 3' splice site and the joining of the two exons. This reaction results in the release of the lariat intron and the formation of a mature mRNA molecule.
5. **Spliceosome disassembly:** After splicing is complete, the spliceosome disassembles and its components are recycled for subsequent splicing events.
mRNA cis-splicing is a highly regulated process that is essential for the production of functional proteins. It plays a crucial role in alternative splicing, which allows for the production of multiple protein isoforms from a single gene, thereby increasing protein diversity and complexity. Splicing errors can lead to various genetic diseases, highlighting the importance of accurate and efficient splicing.
In summary, mRNA cis-splicing is a complex and essential process that involves the precise removal of introns from pre-mRNA and the joining of exons to produce mature mRNA molecules. This process is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a dynamic RNP complex that recognizes specific splice site sequences, undergoes a series of conformational changes, and catalyzes two transesterification reactions. This process is tightly regulated and essential for the production of functional proteins and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis.'
