Disease

[PRP31_HUMAN] Defects in PRPF31 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 11 (RP11) [MIM:600138]. RP leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP11 inheritance is autosomal dominant.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}

Function

[NH2L1_HUMAN] Binds to the 5'-stem-loop of U4 snRNA and may play a role in the late stage of spliceosome assembly. The protein undergoes a conformational change upon RNA-binding.^{[6] [7]} [PRP31_HUMAN] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Required for U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP formation.^[8]
