Abstract excerpt
Defective or imbalanced expression of spliceosomal factors has been linked to human disease; however, how a defective spliceosome affects intron-containing gene transcripts in human cells is largely unknown. DEAH-box protein DHX16 is a human orthologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae spliceosomal protein Prp2, an RNA-dependent ATPase that activates the spliceosome before the first catalytic step of splicing. Yeast...
