Abstract excerpt
Brr2 is an essential Ski2-like RNA helicase that exhibits a unique structure among the spliceosomal helicases. Brr2 harbors a catalytically active N-terminal helicase cassette and a structurally similar but enzymatically inactive C-terminal helicase cassette connected by a linker region. Both cassettes contain a nucleotide-binding pocket, but it is unclear whether nucleotide binding in these two pockets is...
