English: Generalized model of splicing repression.
Splicing repressor proteins (mostly hnRNPs) bind to splicing silencers in exons (ESS) and introns (ISS). They inhibit the binding of U1 snRNP to the donor site, and of U2AFs and the U2 snRNP to the acceptor site and branch point. This results in skipping of the exon (yellow).
