The NDH pathway is especially prominent during oxidative stress. 

The second pathway involves a ferredoxin‐quinone oxidoreductase that is sensitive to antimycin A.

Binding of SR proteins to ESEs promotes or stabilizes U1 binding to the 5’ splice site and U2AF binding to the 3’ splice site.

Trans-splicing is rare in multicellular eukaryotes, it occurs as the primary mechanism to process precursor RNA into mature, translatable mRNAs in some organisms, such as trypanosomes and nematodes.

The SL RNA provides an exon that is connected to the first exon of an mRNA by trans-splicing. The reaction involves the same interactions as nuclear cis splicing but generates a Y-shaped RNA instead of a lariat.
