Welcome to the Steitz Lab

Noncoding RNA-protein complexes (ncRNPs) are ubiquitous in eukaryotic cells and inhabit specific cellular compartments. The most famous noncoding nuclear RNPs (snRNPs) participate in pre-mRNA splicing by recognizing important intron signals and assembling to form an active splicing complex called a spliceosome. There are many other kinds, including those where the RNA is made by an infecting virus.

@SteitzLabWe are excited to share our @ScienceMagazine study on RNA triple helices led by Seyed Torabi! Here we describe the structure of an RNA element that protects the poly(A) tail through the formation of a 3ʹ-end binding pocket and other RNA interactions.
