2'OH 01 (the last five nucleotides of U2 snRNA) binds to the branchpoint of the intron. U2 snRNA forms H-bonds with U6 snRNA to form the catalytic center of the spliceosome. U1 snRNA is the first to bind the 5' splice site of the intron. U4 snRNA inhibits catalysis by the spliceosome until it dissociates from the complex. U6 snRNA is the first to bind the branchpoint of the intron.

snRNAs a) re removed by the spliceosome during RNA splicing. b) are translated and produce snRNPs (small nuclear ribonucleo proteins). c) hybridize to compatible sequences at intron—exon boundaries through complementary base-pairing. d) are required for mRNA maturation in bacteria.
