Abstract excerpt
PRP16 encodes an RNA-dependent ATPase required for the second step of mRNA splicing in S. cerevisiae. We have isolated seven alleles of PRP16 that, like the original allele prp16-1, allow splicing of introns with a mutant branch site (UACUAAC to UACUACC), by forming lariat intermediates at the mutant C nucleotide. Every suppressor mutation maps to the region of PRP16 common to RNA-dependent ATPases. We purified...
