    basic FUNCTION
  • pre-mRNA splicing factor, essential for the catalytic step 2 in pre-mRNA splicing process
  • DHX39 has dual roles in remodeling of the spliceosome in catalytic steps
  • DHX38 has likely a role in mitotic regulation as a component of the satellite I ncRNP complex at interphase
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, RNA splicing

    protein
  • deletion of ISY1 favors the premature release of DHX38, thus promoting second-step chemistry of precursors with inappropriate 3prime-splice sites
  • ISY1 interacts with the ATPase DHX38 to regulate the fidelity of pre-mRNA splicing
  • 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:
