CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE SPLICEOSOMAL 15.5KD PROTEIN BOUND TO A U4 SNRNA FRAGMENT
Overview
We have determined the crystal structure of a spliceosomal RNP complex, comprising the 15.5kD protein of the human U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP and the 5', stem-loop of U4 snRNA. The protein interacts almost exclusively with a, purine-rich (5+2) internal loop within the 5' stem-loop, giving an unusual, RNA fold characterized by two tandem sheared G-A base pairs, a high degree, of purine stacking, and the accommodation of a single RNA base, rotated, out of the RNA chain, in a pocket of the protein. Apart from yielding the, structure of an important entity in the pre-mRNA splicing apparatus, this, work also implies a model for the complex of the 15.5kD protein with box, C/D snoRNAs. It additionally suggests a general recognition principle in a, novel family of RNA binding proteins.
