[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/U520_HUMAN U520_HUMAN]] Retinitis pigmentosa. Retinitis pigmentosa 33 (RP33) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/610359 610359]]: A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. 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. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.<ref>PMID:16723661</ref> <ref>PMID:23045696</ref> <ref>PMID:19878916</ref> <ref>PMID:19710410</ref> <ref>PMID:21618346</ref>  
== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/U520_HUMAN U520_HUMAN]] 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.<ref>PMID:16723661</ref> <ref>PMID:8670905</ref> <ref>PMID:9539711</ref> <ref>PMID:23045696</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Assembly of a spliceosome, catalyzing precursor-messenger RNA splicing, involves multiple RNA-protein remodeling steps, driven by eight conserved DEXD/H-box RNA helicases. The 250-kDa Brr2 enzyme, which is essential for U4/U6 di-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein disruption during spliceosome catalytic activation and for spliceosome disassembly, is the only member of this group that is permanently associated with the spliceosome, thus requiring its faithful regulation. At the same time, Brr2 represents a unique subclass of superfamily 2 nucleic acid helicases, containing tandem helicase cassettes. Presently, the mechanistic and regulatory consequences of this unconventional architecture are unknown. Here we show that in human Brr2, two ring-like helicase cassettes intimately interact and functionally cooperate and how retinitis pigmentosa-linked Brr2 mutations interfere with the enzyme's function. Only the N-terminal cassette harbors ATPase and helicase activities in isolation. Comparison with other helicases and mutational analyses show how it threads single-stranded RNA, and structural features suggest how it can load onto an internal region of U4/U6 di-snRNA. Although the C-terminal cassette does not seem to engage RNA in the same fashion, it binds ATP and strongly stimulates the N-terminal helicase. Mutations at the cassette interface, in an intercassette linker or in the C-terminal ATP pocket, affect this cross-talk in diverse ways. Together, our results reveal the structural and functional interplay between two helicase cassettes in a tandem superfamily 2 enzyme and point to several sites through which Brr2 activity may be regulated.

Structural basis for functional cooperation between tandem helicase cassettes in Brr2-mediated remodeling of the spliceosome.,Santos KF, Jovin SM, Weber G, Pena V, Luhrmann R, Wahl MC Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2012 Oct 8. PMID:23045696<ref>PMID:23045696</ref>
