Cwc2 and its human homologue RBM22 promote an active conformation of the spliceosome catalytic centre.

RNA-structural elements play key roles in pre-mRNA splicing catalysis; yet, the formation of catalytically competent RNA structures requires the assistance of spliceosomal proteins. We show that the S. cerevisiae Cwc2 protein functions prior to step 1 of splicing, and it is not required for the Prp2-mediated spliceosome remodelling that generates the catalytically active B(*) complex, suggesting that Cwc2 plays a ...
