A protein interaction domain contacts RNA in the prespliceosome
Abstract
SR proteins bind to exons and recruit the spliceosome via protein interactions mediated by an arginine-serine-rich (RS) domain. In this issue of Molecular Cell, demonstrate that the RS domain of SR proteins contacts the pre-mRNA branchpoint, indicating that these domains participate in both protein and RNA interactions.
