A small fraction of premessenger RNA introns in certain eukaryotes is excised by the minor spliceosome, which contains low-abundance small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs). Recently, it was suggested that minor-class snRNPs are localized to and function in the cytoplasm of vertebrate cells. To test whether U12-type splicing occurs in the cytoplasm of Xenopus oocytes, we performed microinjections of the well-characterized P120 minor-class splicing substrate into the nucleus or into the cytoplasm. Our results demonstrate that accurate splicing of this U12-dependent intron occurs exclusively in the nuclear compartment of the oocyte, where U12 and U6atac snRNPs are primarily localized. We further demonstrate that splicing of both a major-class and a minor-class intron is inhibited after nuclear envelope breakdown during meiosis.
