Abstract excerpt
The DEAD-box RNA helicase Prp5 is required for the formation of the prespliceosome through an ATP-dependent function to remodel U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) and an ATP-independent function of unknown mechanism. Prp5 has also been implicated in proofreading the branch site sequence, but the molecular mechanism has not been well characterized. Using actin precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) carrying...
