  • PubMed Abstract: 

    The formation of stable 18S U11/U12 di-snRNPs before their association with the pre-mRNA is a characteristic feature of the minor spliceosome. During the spliceosomal assembly, the 18S snRNP binds cooperatively to the introns' 5' splice and branch point site. The molecular basis for this recognition is still unknown. Here, we report the solution structure of the U11-48K CHHC Zn finger, a domain unique to the minor spliceosome. The CHHC Zn-finger structure revealed an unexpected similarity to the TFIIIA domains, with distinct features originating from the type and separation of the zinc-coordinating residues. We show that this domain specifically binds the 5' splice site sequence of U12-type introns when base paired to U11 snRNA in vitro and hence may contribute to the U12 intron recognition. We propose a model in which the U11-48K Zn finger stabilizes U11-5' splice site base pairing and thus plays an important role during the minor spliceosome assembly.
