Abstract excerpt
Stable addition of U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) to form the prespliceosome is the first ATP-dependent step in splicing, and it requires the DEXD/H box ATPase Prp5p. However, prespliceosome formation occurs without ATP in extracts lacking the U2 snRNP protein Cus2p. Here we show that...
