Function

[PRP4_YEAST] Involved in RNA splicing. Is required for the association of U4/U6 snRNP with U5 snRNP in an early step of spliceosome assembly. [SNU13_YEAST] Common component of the spliceosome and rRNA processing machinery. In association with the spliceosomal U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP particle, required for splicing of pre-mRNA. In association with box C/D snoRNPs, required for processing of pre-ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs. Essential for the accumulation and stability of U4 snRNA, U6 snRNA, and box C/D snoRNAs.^{[1] [2] [3]} [PRP6_YEAST] Participates in pre-mRNA splicing. Part of the U4/U5/U6 tri-snRNP complex, one of the building blocks of the spliceosome. [PRP31_YEAST] Promotes the association of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP particle with pre-spliceosomes to form the mature spliceosomal complex.^[4] [BRR2_YEAST] RNA helicase that plays an essential role in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the U5 snRNP and U4/U6-U5 tri-snRNP complexes. Involved in spliceosome assembly, activation and disassembly. Mediates changes in the dynamic network of RNA-RNA interactions in the spliceosome. Catalyzes the ATP-dependent unwinding of U4/U6 RNA duplices, an essential step in the assembly of a catalytically active spliceosome.^{[5] [6] [7] [8]} [DIB1_YEAST] Essential role in pre-mRNA splicing. Also essential for entry into mitosis (G2/M progression) as well as for chromosome segregation during mitosis. [PRP3_YEAST] Participates in pre-mRNA splicing. Part of the U4/U5/U6 tri-snRNP complex, one of the building blocks of the spliceosome.^[9] [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.^{[10] [11] [12] [13]}
