Crystal structure of the C-terminal domain of C. elegans pre-mRNA splicing factor Prp8 carrying R2303K mutantCrystal structure of the C-terminal domain of C. elegans pre-mRNA splicing factor Prp8 carrying R2303K mutant
Structural highlights
2p8r is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Caenorhabditis elegans. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
PRP8_CAEEL Functions as a scaffold that mediates the ordered assembly of spliceosomal proteins and snRNAs. Required for the assembly of the U4/U6-U5 tri-snRNP complex. Functions as scaffold that positions spliceosomal U2, U5 and U6 snRNAs at splice sites on pre-mRNA substrates, so that splicing can occur. Interacts with both the 5' and the 3' splice site (By similarity).
