We have carried out a systematic analysis of the protein composition of highly purified mammalian spliceosomes. We show that >30 distinct proteins, including 20 previously unidentified components [designated spliceosome-associated proteins (SAPs)], are specifically associated with the spliceosome in a salt-resistant complex. In contrast to these spliceosome-specific proteins, we show that hnRNP proteins are not tightly associated with purified prespliceosome and spliceosome complexes. The splicing factor U2AF65, U1 snRNP-specific proteins, and several SAPs are present in the earliest prespliceosome complex (E). A set of 10 proteins is then added to the first ATP-dependent prespliceosome complex (A), and concomitantly, a significant decrease in the level of U2AF65 is observed. The fully assembled spliceosome is formed by the addition of 12 proteins in a reaction that requires ATP and both the 5' and 3' splice sites.
