Abstract excerpt
PRP16 is an RNA-dependent ATPase required for the second catalytic step of splicing in vitro. A dominant suppressor of a branchpoint mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the prp16-1 allele, contains a Tyr to Asp change in the nucleotide-binding site consensus sequence. We now find that cells harboring the prp16-1 allele have a general growth defect that is exacerbated at cold temperatures. The mutant is dominant...
