Abstract excerpt
The yeast pre-mRNA splicing factor Prp22 is a member of the DEAH box family of nucleic acid-stimulated ATPases and RNA helicases. Here we report a mutational analysis of 16 conserved residues in motifs Ia ((534)TQPRRVAA(541)), IV ((695)LVFLTG(700)), and V ((757)TNIAETSIT(765)). Mutants T757A, I764A, and T765A were lethal, and F697A cells did not grow at < or =30 degrees C. The mutant proteins failed to catalyze...
