Electrophoresis of ribonucleoproteins reveals an ordered assembly pathway of yeast splicing complexes

Abstract

Three splicing complexes formed with a yeast pre-messenger RNA during in vitro splicing can be resolved by non-denaturing gel electrophoresis after incubation in the presence of non-specific competitor RNA. The time course of the appearance of these complexes and their composition suggest that they represent an ordered pathway of splicing complex assembly.
