Characterization of Cwc2, U6 snRNA, and Prp8 interactions destabilized by Prp16 ATPase at the transition between the first and second steps of splicing.

Abstract excerpt

The spliceosome performs two consecutive transesterification reactions using one catalytic center, thus requiring its rearrangement between the two catalytic steps of splicing. The Prp16 ATPase facilitates exit from the first-step conformation of the catalytic center by destabilizing some interactions important for catalysis. To better understand rearrangements within the Saccharomyces cerevisiae catalytic...
