A pre-export U1 snRNP in Xenopus laevis oocyte nuclei.

Terns MP , Lund E , Dahlberg JE .


???displayArticle.abstract???
We demonstrate that precursors of U1 snRNA are associated with nuclear proteins prior to export to the cytoplasm. The approximately 15S complexes containing pre-U1 RNA, which we call pre-export U1 snRNPs, were identified in extracts of Xenopus laevis oocyte nuclei that were synthesizing U1 RNAs from injected U1 genes. The U1 snRNP-specific A protein was associated with nuclear pre-U1 RNA since both this protein and the RNA were co-precipitated by antibodies directed against either the m7G-cap of the precursor RNA or the U1-A protein. The interaction of the U1-A protein with pre-U1 RNA required sequences in the loop II region although this region of U1 RNA was not necessary for the association of U1 A protein with mature U1 snRNPs. The U1 A protein helps protect pre-U1 RNA against degradation in the nucleus.
