Abstract excerpt
Accurate pre-mRNA splicing is needed for correct gene expression and relies on faithful splice site recognition. Here, we show that the ubiquitin-like protein Hub1 binds to the DEAD-box helicase Prp5, a key regulator of early spliceosome assembly, and stimulates its ATPase activity thereby enhancing splicing and relaxing fidelity. High Hub1 levels enhance splicing efficiency but also cause missplicing by...
