Focusing <scene name='72/726441/Rnascene/1'>on the RNAs</scene> reveals secondary structure and extensive base pairing between the U4 and U6 snRNAs.


The U2 snRNP <scene name='72/726441/Dockscene/1'>binds to the region</scene> highlighted in blue in this view. The U1 snRNP binds to the U2 snRNP. Both interactions lead to extensive conformational change and activation of the spliceosome.
The spliceosome is assembled from the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP, the U1 snRNP, and the U2 snRNP. The U2 snRNP interacts with the region highlighted in blue <scene name='72/726441/Dockscene/1'>in this view</scene>. The U1 snRNP interacts with the U2 snRNP. The initial assembly is inactive; extensive conformational changes (including unwinding of the U4/U6 base pairing) are required for activation of the spliceosome.
