==Overview==
==Overview==
The precise excision of introns from precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) in, eukaryotes is accomplished by the spliceosome, a complex assembly, containing five small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) particles. Human, p14, a component of the spliceosomal U2 and U11/U12 snRNPs, has been shown, to associate directly with the pre-mRNA branch adenosine early in, spliceosome assembly and within the fully assembled spliceosome. Here we, report the 2.5-A crystal structure of a complex containing p14 and a, peptide derived from the p14-associated U2 snRNP component SF3b155. p14, contains an RNA recognition motif (RRM), the surface of which is largely, occluded by a C-terminal alpha-helix and a portion of the SF3b155 peptide., An analysis of RNA.protein crosslinking to wild-type and mutant p14 shows, that the branch adenosine directly interacts with a conserved aromatic, within a pocket on the surface of the complex. This result, combined with, a comparison of the structure with known RRMs and pseudoRRMs as well as, model-building by using the electron cryomicroscopy structure of a, spliceosomal U11/U12 di-snRNP, suggests that p14.SF3b155 presents a, noncanonical surface for RNA recognition at the heart of the mammalian, spliceosome.
