Abstract


The stepwise assembly of the highly dynamic spliceosome is guided by RNA-dependent ATPases of the DEAD-box family, whose regulation is poorly understood. In the canonical assembly model, the U4/U6.U5 triple snRNP binds only after joining of the U1 and, subsequently, U2 snRNPs to the intron-containing pre-mRNA. Catalytic activation requires the exchange of U6 for U1 snRNA at the 5' splice site, which is promoted by the DEAD-box protein Prp28. Because Prp8, an integral U5 snRNP protein, is thought to be a central regulator of DEAD-box proteins, we conducted a targeted search in Prp8 for cold-insensitive suppressors of a cold-sensitive Prp28 mutant, prp28-1. We identified a cluster of suppressor mutations in an N-terminal bromodomain-like sequence of Prp8. To identify the precise defect in prp28-1 strains that is suppressed by the Prp8 alleles, we analyzed spliceosome assembly in vivo and in vitro. Surprisingly, in the prp28-1 strain, we observed a block not only to spliceosome activation but also to one of the earliest steps of assembly, formation of the ATP-independent commitment complex 2 (CC2). The Prp8 suppressor partially corrected both the early assembly and later activation defects of prp28-1, supporting a role for this U5 snRNP protein in both the ATP-independent and ATP-dependent functions of Prp28. We conclude that the U5 snRNP has a role in the earliest events of assembly, prior to its stable incorporation into the spliceosome.
