The spliceosome is the complex macromolecular machine responsible for removing introns from precursors to mRNAs (pre-mRNAs). We combined yeast genetic engineering, chemical biology, and multi-wavelength fluoresence microscopy to follow assembly of single spliceosomes in real time in whole cell extracts. We find that individual spliceosomal subcomplexes associate with pre-mRNA sequentially via an ordered pathway to yield functional spliceosomes, and that association of every subcomplex is reversible. Further, early subcomplex binding events do not fully commit a pre-mRNA to splicing; rather commitment increases as assembly proceeds. These findings have important implications for the regulation of alternative splicing. This experimental strategy should prove widely useful for mechanistic analysis of other macromolecular machines in environments approaching the complexity of living cells.
