Splicing is a critical processing step during pre-mRNA maturation in eukaryotes. The correct selection of splice sites during the early steps of spliceosome assembly is highly important and crucial for the regulation of alternative splicing. Splice site recognition and alternative splicing depend on cis-regulatory sequence elements in the RNA and trans-acting splicing factors that recognize these elements and crosstalk with the canonical splicing machinery. Structural mechanisms involving early spliceosome complexes are governed by dynamic RNA structures, protein-RNA interactions and conformational flexibility of multidomain RNA binding proteins. Here, we highlight structural studies and integrative structural biology approaches, which provide complementary information from cryo-EM, NMR, small angle scattering, and X-ray crystallography to elucidate mechanisms in the regulation of early spliceosome assembly and quality control, highlighting the role of conformational dynamics.
