The start point is usually (90% of the time) a purine. It is common for the start point to be the central base in the sequence CAT, but the conservation of this triplet is not great enough to regard it as an obligatory signal.

U11 base pairs with the 5’ splice sites; U12 base pairs with the branch point sequence near the 3’ splice site; and U4atac and U6atac provide analogous functions during the spliceosome assembly and activation of the spliceosome. 

U5 is same component in all splicing complexes

Each snRNP contains a single snRNA (100-300 nt) and several (20) proteins. The U4 and U6 snRNPs are usually found together as a di-snRNP (U4/U6) particle.

Once DNA has been melted, the trajectory of the individual strands within the enzyme is no longer constrained by the rigidity of the double helix, allowing DNA to make its 90° turn at the active site.

There are RNA polymerase crystal structures that provide considerable insight into how the enzyme retains contact with its substrate while breaking and remaking bonds in the process of the nucleotide addition cycle and undergoing translocation by a Brownian ratchet mechanism.

Unlike the other elements within the promoter, the UP-element is not recognized by s but is recognized by a carboxy-terminal domain of the subunit, called the aCTD .
