Mutation of either the 5′ or the 3′ invariant splice-site bases at the ends of the intron resulted in pre-mRNAs that were bound by snRNPs to form spliceosomes; however, RNA splicing was blocked, and the pre-mRNA was retained in the nucleus. 
In contrast, mutation of both the 5′ and 3′ splice sites in the same pre-mRNA resulted in export of the unspliced pre-mRNA, although less efficiently than for the spliced mRNA, probably because of the absence of an exon-junction complex. When both splice sites were mutated, the pre-mRNAs were not efficiently bound by snRNPs, and consequently, their
export was not blocked.

In molecules, two types of excited states can exist;
a) The singlet state is relatively short‐lived and contains electrons with opposite (antiparallel) spins.
b) The more long‐lived triplet state has electron spins that are aligned (parallel).

P bodies are dense cytoplasmic domains many times the size of a ribosome. They are sites of translational repression that contain no ribosomes or translation factors. They are also major sites of mRNA degradation in the cytoplasm. Exon-junction complexes upf complex functions in nonsense-mediated decay and induces degradation of the mRNA by P body–associated 5′→3′ exoribonuclease XRN1
