Analysis of RNA products formed in an in vitro splicing reaction. A nuclear extract from HeLa cells was incubated with a 497nucleotide radiolabeled RNA that contained portions of two exons (numbered 1 and 2) from human betaglobin mRNA separated by a 130nucleotide intron. After incubation for various times, the RNA was purified and subjected to electrophoresis and autoradiography. a snRNA(U1~U6) snRNP core proteins (., Sm) specific proteins Small Urich RNA (snRNA) are abundant in the nuclei Base pairing between snRNAs and premRNA ?
