Abstract excerpt
An essential heterodimer of the U2AF1 and U2AF2 pre-mRNA splicing factors nucleates spliceosome assembly at polypyrimidine (Py) signals preceding the major class of 3' splice sites. U2AF1 frequently acquires an S34F-encoding mutation among patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The influence of the U2AF1 subunit and its S34F mutation on the U2AF2 conformations remains unknown. Here, we employ single...
