How Spliceosomes Process RNA


A spliceosome is a large and complex molecular machine found primarily within the splicing speckles of the cell nucleus of eukaryotic cells. The spliceosome is assembled from snRNPs and protein complexes. The spliceosome removes introns from a transcribed pre-mRNA, a kind of primary transcript. This process is generally referred to as splicing. Only eukaryotes have spliceosomes and metazoans have a second spliceosome, the minor spliceosome.
