Abstract
The effect of the 5' cap structure on the splicing of precursor mRNAs was investigated after the RNAs were injected into Xenopus oocyte nuclei. The precursor mRNAs synthesized in vitro in a prokaryotic transcription system with a dinucleotide, ApppG, as a primer, were extremely stable when injected into the nuclei yet behaved like uncapped pre-mRNAs in the in vitro splicing reaction. The ApppG-primed precursor mRNAs served as a control (uncapped) in the injection experiments, and their splicing reactions were compared with those of their capped (m7GpppG-primed) counterparts. The capped precursors were spliced more efficiently than the uncapped precursors. Examination of splicing of the precursor mRNA that contained three exons and two introns with a single molecule has revealed that the cap structure exerts its effect primarily on the 5'-proximal intron. Thus, the cap structure not only stabilizes precursor mRNAs but also plays a positive role in the splicing of precursor mRNAs in cells.
