We have investigated the early events of pre-mRNA splicing in vitro by sucrose gradient sedimentation analysis. Time course experiments revealed the assembly, in two steps, of a large (50S) pre-mRNA splicing complex, preceded by formation of two other complexes that sediment at approximately 22S and 35S. Pre-mRNA and the intermediates and products of the in vitro splicing reaction cosediment with the 50S complex, while only pre-mRNA is associated with the 22S and 35S complexes. No splicing is observed in the absence of a 50S complex. Formation of the 50S complex requires ATP, whereas formation of the 22S and 35S complexes does not. U-snRNPs are necessary for assembly of the 35S and the 50S complexes but not for assembly of the 22S complex. Analysis with mutant substrate RNAs demonstrated that a polypyrimidine stretch near the 3' splice site and an intact 5' splice site are absolutely required for splicing complex formation.
