Crystal structure of the RNA-helicase Prp43 from Chaetomium thermophilum bound to ADPCrystal structure of the RNA-helicase Prp43 from Chaetomium thermophilum bound to ADP
Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedRNA helicases are indispensable for all organisms in each domain of life and have implications in numerous cellular processes. The DEAH-box RNA helicase Prp43 is involved in pre-mRNA splicing as well as rRNA maturation. Here, the crystal structure of Chaetomium thermophilum Prp43 at 2.9 A resolution is revealed. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that Prp43 from C. thermophilum is capable of functionally replacing its orthologue from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in spliceosomal disassembly assays.
