Abstract excerpt
Activation of the spliceosome for splicing catalysis requires the dissociation of U4 snRNA from the U4/U6 snRNA duplex prior to the first step of splicing. We characterize an evolutionarily conserved 15.5 kDa protein of the HeLa [U4/U6.U5] tri-snRNP that binds directly to the 5' stem-loop of U4 snRNA. This protein shares a novel RNA recognition motif with several RNP-associated proteins, which is essential, but...
