Function

[AAR2_YEAST] Involved in splicing pre-mRNA of the A1 cistron and other genes that are important for cell growth. [PRP8_YEAST] Required for pre-spliceosome formation, which is the first step of pre-mRNA splicing. This protein is associated with snRNP U5. Has a role in branch site-3' splice site selection. Associates with the branch site-3' splice 3'-exon region. Also has a role in cell cycle.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The active centre of the spliceosome consists of an intricate network formed by U5, U2 and U6 small nuclear RNAs, and a pre-messenger-RNA substrate. Prp8, a component of the U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle, crosslinks extensively with this RNA catalytic core. Here we present the crystal structure of yeast Prp8 (residues 885-2413) in complex with Aar2, a U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle assembly factor. The structure reveals tightly associated domains of Prp8 resembling a bacterial group II intron reverse transcriptase and a type II restriction endonuclease. Suppressors of splice-site mutations, and an intron branch-point crosslink, map to a large cavity formed by the reverse transcriptase thumb, and the endonuclease-like and RNaseH-like domains. This cavity is large enough to accommodate the catalytic core of group II intron RNA. The structure provides crucial insights into the architecture of the spliceosome active site, and reinforces the notion that nuclear pre-mRNA splicing and group II intron splicing have a common origin.
