Leptomonas collosoma or Caenorhabditis elegans SL RNA sequences joined to an adenovirus intron and 3 exon are spliced highly efficiently and accurately in HeLa nuclear extract. After inactivation of U1 snRNPs using RNAase H and a deoxyoligonucleotide complementary to the first 12 nucleotides of U1, splicing of SL RNA-containing constructs continues undiminished, whereas control substrates no longer splice. Since neither binding of U1 snRNPs nor inhibition of splicing is detected using anti-(U1)RNP antibodies, splicing of SL RNA-containing constructs may be entirely U1 snRNP independent. Analyses of altered L. collosoma constructs revealed that the sequence surrounding the 5'' splice site is not sufficient to confer U1-independent splicing; the smallest U1-independent region identified so far retains only the first stem-loop of the SL RNA. That sequences responsible for recognition of the 5'' splice site can be relocated within the splicing substrate itself reinforces the similarity between group II self-splicing and spliceosome-mediated pre-mRNA splicing.
