Structure and Conformational Dynamics of the Human Spliceosomal B<sup>act</sup> Complex.
Cell 20180117 3
The spliceosome is a highly dynamic macromolecular complex that precisely excises introns from pre-mRNA. Here we report the cryo-EM 3D structure of the human B<sup>act</sup> spliceosome at 3.4 Å resolution. In the B<sup>act</sup> state, the spliceosome is activated but not catalytically primed, so that it is functionally blocked prior to the first catalytic step of splicing. The spliceosomal core is similar to the yeast B<sup>act</sup> spliceosome; important differences include the presence of t ...[more]
