    spliced
  9. What are the two very highly conserved splice sites?
    GU and A
  10. R = ?
    Purine
  11. Y=?
    pyrimidine
  12. What are the two major trans factors?
    • 5R Proteins (ser-arg)
    • sn RNPs
  13. What lets the nucleus know where the exon is?
    5R proteins
  14. snRNPs recognize ...
    introns and 5R proteins
  15. what makes up spliceosome that splices pre-mRNA befor it leaves the nucleus?
    5R proteins
  16. Splicing in the nucleus can be ____ or ___transcriptional
    co or post
  17. Splicing is RNA ______, which involves 2 transesterifications.
    catalysis
  18. what is the benefit of RNA splicing?
    no energy required for the chemical reaction (but trans factors need energy)
  19. 2 OH' is necessary for ______ because 2' deoxy won't work.
    splicing
  20. There is a nucleophilic attack of hydroxyl A on the....
    branch pt. to phosphate
  21. the branch point connects the 5' A, the 3' O on phosphate and the 2' oh to create a ...
    lancet/lasso intron
  22. What are the 6 steps in splicing?
    • 1) 5R proteins define exons
    • 2) U1 snRNP binds (proteins associated with 5R proteins and U1 RNA BPs at 5' splice junction of intron)
    • 3) U2 snRNP Associates snRNP base pairs around branch point A (which is never base paired)
    • 4) Triple snRNP associate with proteins around there, but mostly introns (U4/U6 snRNP: U4 bps to U6 near 3' of 5' exon and U5 snRNP: binds on intron close to 3' exon)
    • 5) U4 unwindes from U6 (catalytic RNA that stars chemical mechanism)
    • 6) Splicing begins
  23. U3 not icluded in splicing because it is used for...
    RNA processing
  24. Alternative splicing does most regulation thru...
