The interactions of Prp24 with U6 and U4/U6 are very important in proper spliceosome assembly, as evidenced by mutations in Prp24 that suppress mutations in U6 or U4. Mutations in RRM 2 and RRM 3 suppress the effects of mutations in the 3' stem of U6, in a region termed the telestem (reference Vidaver et al. 1999) (the existence of the telestem has been challenged by recent U6 secondary structure models (reference Karaduman et al. 2008 and Dunn and Rader 2010)). A later study showed that RRM 1 binds with high affinity to U6 and is important in interactions with mutations in the 3' region of U6 (reference Kwan and Brow 2005). Mutations in two RNP consensus domains of Prp24 suppress the effects of mutations in U4 in the stem II region of U4/U6 (reference Shannon and Guthrie 1991). Truncation and deletion of internal segments of U6 showed that the central region of U6 is the most important region for interaction with Prp24 and that RRM 1 and RRM 2 are the likely portions of Prp24 that interact with U6 in this region (reference Kwan and Brow 2005). | The interactions of Prp24 with U6 and U4/U6 are very important in proper spliceosome assembly, as evidenced by mutations in Prp24 that suppress mutations in U6 or U4.

NMR analysis of fragments of U6 sequence and regions of Prp24 have further defined and supported the interactions of the protein with U6 snRNA. Analysis of an RNA oligonucleotide containing sequences identical to nucleotides 41-46 and 83-88 of U6 (the regions proposed to bind to Prp24) with a truncated protein containing RRMs 1 and 2 of Prp24 showed that these RRMs interacted sequence specifically with these nucleotides (Bae et al. | NMR analysis of fragments of U6 sequence and regions of Prp24 have further defined and supported the interactions of the protein with U6 snRNA.

Another NMR study identified sequence specific interaction of RRM 2 with RNA, and it was determined from this that most likely region of U6 for interaction was the AGAGAU sequence of nucleotides 49-54, within the region of previously predicted interaction (Martin-Tumasz et al. 2010). From this, it was predicted that RRM 1 would interact with the GAUCAG sequence of nucleotides 55-60 (Martin-Tumasz et al. 2010). | ||
