A spliceosomal complex that is formed by the displacement of the U1 and U4 snRNPs from the precatalytic spliceosome; the U2, U5 and U6 snRNPs remain associated with the mRNA. This complex, sometimes called the activated spliceosome, is the catalytically active form of the spliceosome, and includes many proteins in addition to those found in the U2, and U5 and U6 snRNPs.
U2-type catalytic step 2 spliceosome
U2-type post-mRNA release spliceosomal complex
U2-type post-spliceosomal complex
U2-type precatalytic spliceosome
