[HTML][HTML] Structure of the human activated spliceosome in three conformational states

X Zhang, C Yan, X Zhan, L Li, J Lei, Y Shi - Cell research, 2018 - nature.com
During each cycle of pre-mRNA splicing, the pre-catalytic spliceosome (B complex) is converted
into the activated spliceosome (B act complex), which has a well-formed active site but …

Structure of a human catalytic step I spliceosome

X Zhan, C Yan, X Zhang, J Lei, Y Shi - Science, 2018 - science.org
Splicing by the spliceosome involves branching and exon ligation. The branching reaction
leads to the formation of the catalytic step I spliceosome (C complex). Here we report the cryo–…

[HTML][HTML] Structures of the human pre-catalytic spliceosome and its precursor spliceosome

X Zhan, C Yan, X Zhang, J Lei, Y Shi - Cell research, 2018 - nature.com
The pre-catalytic spliceosome (B complex) is preceded by its precursor spliceosome (pre-B
complex) and followed by the activated spliceosome (B act complex). The pre-B-to-B and B-to…

[HTML][HTML] Cryo-EM structure of human Wntless in complex with Wnt3a

…, F Ye, Z Xiao, G Huang, M Xu, Y Zhang, X Zhan… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Wntless (WLS), an evolutionarily conserved multi-pass transmembrane protein, is essential
for secretion of Wnt proteins. Wnt-triggered signaling pathways control many crucial life …

How is precursor messenger RNA spliced by the spliceosome?

R Wan, R Bai, X Zhan, Y Shi - Annual review of biochemistry, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Splicing of the precursor messenger RNA, involving intron removal and exon ligation, is
mediated by the spliceosome. Together with biochemical and genetic investigations of the past …

[HTML][HTML] Structure of the yeast Swi/Snf complex in a nucleosome free state

C Wang, Z Guo, X Zhan, F Yang, M Wu… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
SWI/SNF remodelers play a key role in regulating chromatin architecture and gene expression.
Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Swi/Snf complex …

Structure of the cytoplasmic ring of the Xenopus laevis nuclear pore complex

X Zhu, G Huang, C Zeng, X Zhan, K Liang, Q Xu… - Science, 2022 - science.org
INTRODUCTION The nuclear pore complex (NPC) resides on the nuclear envelope (NE) and
mediates nucleocytoplasmic cargo transport. As one of the largest cellular machineries, a …

Structure of a SIN3–HDAC complex from budding yeast

…, Y Xiao, M Wu, S Gao, CCL Wong, X Zhan… - Nature Structural & …, 2023 - nature.com
SIN3–HDAC (histone deacetylases) complexes have important roles in facilitating local histone
deacetylation to regulate chromatin accessibility and gene expression. Here, we present …

Structural basis of pre-tRNA intron removal by human tRNA splicing endonuclease

X Zhang, F Yang, X Zhan, T Bian, Z Xing, Y Lu, Y Shi - Molecular Cell, 2023 - cell.com
Removal of the intron from precursor-tRNA (pre-tRNA) is essential in all three kingdoms of
life. In humans, this process is mediated by the tRNA splicing endonuclease (TSEN) …

[HTML][HTML] Two assembly modes for SIN3 histone deacetylase complexes

C Wang, Z Guo, C Chu, Y Lu, X Zhang, X Zhan - Cell Discovery, 2023 - nature.com
The switch-independent 3 (SIN3)/histone deacetylase (HDAC) complexes play essential
roles in regulating chromatin accessibility and gene expression. There are two major types of …
