Isoginkgetin is a cell-permeable chemical isolated from the Ginkgo biloba tree that binds to and inhibits snRNPs. Would this be most problematic for E. coli cells, yeast cells, or human cells? Why?

Which of the following is not a sequence that the spliceosome recognizes?
A
5' GU
B
3' AG
C
Branch Point
D
Splice Point

Understand the role of the spliceosome: The spliceosome is a complex of RNA and protein that removes introns from a transcribed pre-mRNA segment. It recognizes specific sequences at the intron-exon boundaries.
Identify the sequences recognized by the spliceosome: The spliceosome typically recognizes three key sequences: the 5' splice site (often starting with GU), the 3' splice site (often ending with AG), and the branch point (which contains an adenine nucleotide).
Analyze the given options: The options provided are 5' GU, 3' AG, Branch Point, and Splice Point. Compare these with the known sequences recognized by the spliceosome.
Determine which option is not recognized: The 5' GU, 3' AG, and Branch Point are all sequences recognized by the spliceosome. The term 'Splice Point' is not a specific sequence recognized by the spliceosome.
Conclude the analysis: Based on the comparison, 'Splice Point' is not a sequence that the spliceosome recognizes, as it is not a specific sequence like the others listed.
