Abstract
In nematodes, a fraction of mRNAs acquires a common 22-nucleotide 5'-terminal spliced leader sequence via a trans-splicing reaction. The same premessenger RNAs which receive the spliced leader are also processed by conventional cis-splicing. Whole cell extracts prepared from synchronous embryos of the parasitic nematode Ascaris lumbricoides catalyze both cis- and trans-splicing. We have used this cell-free system and oligodeoxynucleotide directed RNase H digestion to assess the U small nuclear RNA requirements for nematode cis- and trans-splicing. These experiments indicated that both cis- and trans-splicing require intact U2 and U4/U6 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (sn-RNPs). However, whereas cis-splicing displays the expected requirement for an intact U1 snRNP, trans-splicing is unaffected when ~90% of U1 snRNP is degraded. These results suggest that 5' splice site identification differs in nematode cis- and trans-splicing.
