Kinetic model of tri-snRNP assembly in the CB. (A) Full (WT) model of tri-snRNP formation in CBs. The CB is modeled as a spherical object with a permeable surface. Coefficients kU4, kU6, kU5, kU4/U6, and kU4/U6.U5 describe transfer rates of U4, U6, U5, U4/U6, and U4/U6.U5 complexes, respectively, between nucleoplasm and CB. kS3 denotes the transfer rate of SART3 protein (S3). Constant k1 characterizes formation rate of U4/U6 di-snRNP complex from U4 and U6 components. Constant k2 describes the conjugation rate of U4/U6 di-snRNP and U5 into U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP. (B) Simplified (KO) model with blocked tri-snRNP formation. Depletion of hPrp6 inhibits tri-snRNP assembly and reduces the model to di-snRNP assembly.
