  2. RNA splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_splicing

    The major spliceosome splices introns containing GU at the 5' splice site and AG at the 3' splice site. It is composed of the U1 , U2 , U4 , U5 , and U6 snRNPs and is active in the nucleus. In addition, a number of proteins including U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 1 (U2AF35), U2AF2 (U2AF65) [ 10 ] and SF1 are required for the assembly of ...

  3. Spliceosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spliceosome

    These include the 5' end splice site, the branch point sequence, the polypyrimidine tract, and the 3' end splice site. The spliceosome catalyzes the removal of introns, and the ligation of the flanking exons. [citation needed] Introns typically have a GU nucleotide sequence at the 5' end splice site, and an AG at the 3' end splice site.

  4. Fusion splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_splicing

    Video of optical-fiber fusion-splicing Fiber spliced, still unprotected COMWAY fusion splicing INNO View 7 splicer on a tripod and work table. Fusion splicing is the act of joining two optical fibers end-to-end.

  5. Alternative splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_splicing

    Alternative splicing produces three protein isoforms.Protein A includes all of the exons, whereas Proteins B and C result from exon skipping.. Alternative splicing, or alternative RNA splicing, or differential splicing, is an alternative splicing process during gene expression that allows a single gene to produce different splice variants.

  6. Protein splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_splicing

    The process for class 1 inteins begins with an N-O or N-S shift when the side chain of the first residue (a serine, threonine, or cysteine) of the intein portion of the precursor protein nucleophilically attacks the peptide bond of the residue immediately upstream (that is, the final residue of the N-extein) to form a linear ester (or thioester) intermediate.

  7. Rope splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_splicing

    Chain splice – Attached the working end of a rope to a chain. [7] Figure-eight "splice" knot – A splice-like bend knot used for joining two ropes. Horseshoe splice – A cut splice where the two sides of the loop are of unequal length. Long splice – A splice used to join two rope ends forming one rope the length of the total of the two ropes.

  8. Circular RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_RNA

    Circularization of functional noncoding RNAs is thought to work as a protective mechanism against exonucleases and to promote proper folding. [21] [3] CircRNAs in eukaryotes produced by back-splicing Circular RNAs produced by back-splicing (a form of exon scrambling) occur when a 5′ splice site is joined to an upstream 3′ splice site.

  9. Exon skipping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exon_skipping

    Exon skipping is used to restore the reading frame within a gene. Genes are the genetic instructions for creating a protein, and are composed of introns and exons.Exons are the sections of DNA that contain the instruction set for generating a protein; they are interspersed with non-coding regions called introns.
