Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: During pre-mRNA splicing, dynamic rearrangement of RNA secondary structure within the spliceosome is crucial for intron recognition and formation of the catalytic core. Splicing factors belonging to the DExD/DExH-box family of RNA-dependent ATPases are thought to have a central role in directing these rearrangements by unwinding RNA helices. Proof of this hypothesis has, however, been conspicuously...
