This process is critical for many cellular functions, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report a cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) reconstruction of the 13-subunit human U11 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) complex in apo and substrate-bound forms, revealing the architecture of the U11 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), five minor spliceosome-specific factors, and the mechanism of the U12-type 5' splice site (5'SS) recognition. SNRNP25 and SNRNP35 specifically recognize U11 snRNA, while PDCD7 bridges SNRNP25 and SNRNP48, located at the distal ends of the particle. SNRNP48 and ZMAT5 are positioned near the 5' end of U11 snRNA and stabilize binding of the incoming 5'SS. Recognition of the U12-type 5'SS is achieved through base-pairing to the 5' end of the U11 snRNA and unexpected, non-canonical base-triple interactions with the U11 snRNA stem-loop 3. Our structures provide mechanistic insights into U12-dependent intron recognition and the evolution of the splicing machinery. | |||||||||
