Fig. 7. TSSC4 does not affect U5 snRNP composition but promotes tri-snRNP assembly.

Fig. 7

a TSSC4 downregulation does not change the U5 snRNP protein composition. Co-immunoprecipitation of U5-specific proteins with PRPF8-GFP was assayed after TSSC4 knockdown by western blotting. The positions of molecular weight markers are shown, the marker labeled by asterisk applies only to the GFP sample in the bottom combined GFP panel. b Sedimentation of U5-specific proteins is altered after TSSC4 knockdown and all three U5 markers migrate in lighter fractions than in control extracts. The positions of molecular weight markers are shown. a, b The experiments were performed three times with similar results. Uncropped and unprocessed scans are provided in the Source Data file. c Splicing efficiency is not globally reduced after TSSC4 downregulation. Total RNA was isolated, reverse transcribed, and analyzed by qPCR. The knockdown of PRPF8 served as a positive control. Mean and SEM from at least three biologically independent experiments are shown (in each experiment reverse transcription was performed in two technical replicates and the average value used for calculations). Statistical significance was determined by the paired two-tailed T test, P values are shown. Values for graphs are provided in the Source Data file. See also Supplementary Fig. 4 for knockdown efficiency.
