Spliceosomal proteins in plants

Curr Top Microbiol Immunol. 2008:326:1-15. doi: 10.1007/978-3-540-76776-3_1.

Abstract

The spliceosome is a large nuclear structure consisting of dynamically interacting RNAs and proteins. This chapter briefly reviews some of the known components and their interactions. Large-scale proteomics and gene expression studies may be required to unravel the many intricate mechanisms involved in splice site recognition and selection.
