Abstract excerpt
Pre-mRNA splicing occurs in a large and dynamic ribonucleoprotein complex, the spliceosome. Several protein factors involved in splicing are homologous to a family of RNA-dependent ATPases, the so-called DEAD/DEAH proteins. A subset of these factors exhibit RNA helicase activity in vitro. The DEAD/DEAH proteins involved in splicing are thought to mediate RNA conformational rearrangements during spliceosome...
