Abstract excerpt
The Prp2 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an RNA-dependent ATPase required before the first transesterification reaction in pre-mRNA splicing. Prp2 binds to the spliceosome in the absence of ATP and is released following ATP hydrolysis. We determined what regions in Prp2 are essential for release from the spliceosome by analyzing dominant negative mutants in vivo and in vitro. We made mutations in conserved...
