Abstract excerpt
Fidelity and efficiency of pre-mRNA splicing are critical for generating functional mRNAs, but how such accuracy in 5' splice site (SS) selection is attained is not fully clear. Through a series of yeast genetic screens, we isolated alleles of prp28 that improve splicing of suboptimal 5'SS substrates, demonstrating that WT-Prp28p proofreads, and consequently rejects, poor 5'SS. Prp28p is thought to facilitate the...
