The essential spliceosomal protein Prp8 interacts with U5 and U6 snRNAs and with specific pre-mRNA sequences that participate in catalysis [1]. This close association with crucial RNA sequences, together with extensive genetic evidence, suggests that Prp8 could directly affect the function of the catalytic core, perhaps acting as a splicing cofactor [2].

The large RNA-protein complex of the spliceosome catalyses pre-mRNA splicing. One of the most conserved core proteins is PrP8 which occupies a central position in the catalytic core of the spliceosome, and has been implicated in several crucial molecular rearrangements that occur there, and has recently come under the spotlight for its role in the inherited human disease, Retinitis Pigmentosa [1]. The RNA-recognition motif of PrP8 is highly conserved and provides a possible RNA binding centre for the 5-prime SS, BP, or 3-prime SS of pre-mRNA which are known to contact with Prp8. The most conserved regions of an RRM are defined as the RNP1 and RNP2 sequences. Recognition of RNA targets can also be modulated by a number of other factors, most notably the two loops beta1-alpha1, beta2-beta3 and the amino acid residues C-terminal to the RNP2 domain [2].
This domain incorporates the interacting site for the U6-snRNA as part of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNPs complex of the spliceosome, and is the prime candidate for the role of cofactor for the spliceosome's RNA core. The essential spliceosomal protein Prp8 ...

This domain is found in eukaryotes, and is about 20 amino acids in length. It is found associated with Pfam:PF10597, Pfam:PF10596, Pfam:PF10598, Pfam:PF08083, Pfam:PF08082, Pfam:PF01398, Pfam:PF08084. There is a conserved LILR sequence motif. The dom ...

The domain is a selenomethionine domain in a subunit of the spliceosome. The function of PRP8 domain IV is believed to be interaction with the splicosomal core.
Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein Prp3, C-terminal domain
This domain is found at the C-terminal end of U4/U6 and U4/U5/U6- small nuclear ribonucleoprotein Prp3, part of the tri-RNA complex that form the spliceosome. Prp3 plays a key role in the recognition of the snRNA duplex. This binding domain, highly c ...
This domain is found at the C-terminal end of U4/U6 and U4/U5/U6- small nuclear ribonucleoprotein Prp3, part of the tri-RNA complex that form the spliceosome. Prp3 plays a key role in the recognition of the snRNA duplex. This binding domain, highly conserved among eukaryotes, interacts with the 3' end of U6 snRNA. It adopts a ferredoxin-like fold, showing a five-stranded mixed beta-sheet with three alpha-helices, two of them running parallel to the beta-strands on one side of the sheet and one on the other. This fold is extended with a long beta-hairpin, an extra beta-strand, an helix and a final loop at the C terminus. It is located C-terminal to Pfam:PF08572 [1-4].
