PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • a central RNA recognition motif (RRM)
  • several WD repeats, functioning in protein-protein interactions
  • a core domain IV, implicated in key spliceosomal interactions, with a bipartite structure that includes the presence of an RNase H fold linked to a five-helix assembly
  • C-terminal Jab1/MPN domain (Ritchie 2008)
  • mono polymer complex

    basic FUNCTION
  • playing an essential role for the catalytic step II in pre-mRNA splicing process
  • employs potentially an RNase H domain to help assemble and stabilize the spliceosomal catalytic core, coordinate the activities of other splicing factors and possibly participate in chemical catalysis of splicing
  • spliceosome subunits SNW1 and PRPF8 are essential for sister chromatid cohesion in human cells
  • pre-mRNA splicing factor PRPF8 is a crucial component of the U5 snRNP, and together with EFTUD2 and SNRNP200, it forms a central module of the spliceosome
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, RNA splicing

    signaling sensory transduction/vision
    a component
  • core component of the U5 snRNP
  • component of both U2- and U12-dependent spliceosomes
  • with PRPF31 and PRPF3, are component of the spliceosome, a macromolecular complex that processes nearly all pre-mRNAs
  • pre-mRNA splicing factor PRPF8 is a crucial component of the U5 snRNP, and together with EFTUD2 and SNRNP200, it forms a central module of the spliceosome
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA binding to U4/U6 RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • during step 1 of splicing, PRPF8 interactions with SF3b proteins are replaced by SLU7, positioning this second step factor close to the active site, and that the DEAH-box helicases DHX16 and DHX38 cooperate through ordered interactions with GPKOW (PMIDl:
  • PRPF8 protein, a major regulator of the spliceosome, can insert its C-terminal tail into SNRNP200 RNA-binding tunnel, thereby intermittently blocking SNRNP200 RNA-binding, adenosine triphosphatase, and U4/U6 unwinding activities
  • SLU7 and PRPF18, which promote exon ligation, bind together to the PRPF8 RNase H-like domain
  • SLU7 adopts an extended conformation, binds PRPF8 and CWC22, and is poised for selection of the 3'-splice site
  • PRPF8 plays a key role in positioning the 5'splice sites (SSs) and 3'SS, facilitated by SLU7 through interactions with PRPF8 and substrate RNA to advance exon ligation
  • interactions of PRPF8 and GRIA1 in testis and brain cortex
  • cell & other
