Summary: Possible snRNP states
The data available at present suggest at least the following distinct states: a. free snRNP--possibly representing the active pool of recycling snRNP; b. loose snRNP:hnRNP complexes--these may represent snRNP involved in a “surveying” state prior to specific sequence interaction with pre-mRNA sites and perhaps characteristic of all polymerase II transcription sites; c. tight snRNP:hnRNP complexes--representing preformed spliceosome structures at specific sequence sites on pre-mRNA; d. ICG associated snRNP--function unknown, though possibly a storage structure of transiently inactive complexes.
