The RNP remodeling events occurring during spliceosome disassembly are poorly understood, and the composition of the released snRNPs are only roughly known. Using purified components in vitro, we generated post-catalytic spliceosomes that can be dissociated into mRNA and the intron-lariat spliceosome (ILS) by addition of the RNA helicase Prp22 plus ATP and without requiring the step 2 proteins Slu7 and Prp18. Incubation of the isolated ILS with the RNA helicase Prp43 plus Ntr1/Ntr2 and ATP generates defined spliceosomal dissociation products: the intron-lariat, U6 snRNA, a 20-25S U2 snRNP containing SF3a/b, an 18S U5 snRNP, and the \"nineteen complex\" associated with both the released U2 snRNP and intron-lariat RNA. Our system reproduces the entire ordered disassembly phase of the spliceosome with purified components, which defines the minimum set of agents required for this process. It enabled us to characterize the proteins of the ILS by mass spectrometry and identify the ATPase action of Prp43 as necessary and sufficient for dissociation of the ILS without the involvement of Brr2 ATPase."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1101/gad.207779.112"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142392"],["dc.identifier.isi","000315286300007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23431055"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7774"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10 / Funder: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft [SFB 860]; GGNB (DFG) [GSC 226/1]"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","0890-9369"],["dc.title","Dissection of the factor requirements for spliceosome disassembly and the elucidation of its dissociation products using a purified splicing system"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2013Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","2162"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","12"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Structure"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","2174"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","21"],["dc.contributor.author","Xiang, Shengqi"],["dc.contributor.author","Gapsys, Vytautas"],["dc.contributor.author","Kim, Hai-Young"],["dc.contributor.author","Bessonov, Sergey"],["dc.contributor.author","Hsiao, He-Hsuan"],["dc.contributor.author","Moehlmann, Sina"],["dc.contributor.author","Klaukien, Volker"],["dc.contributor.author","Ficner, Ralf"],["dc.contributor.author","Becker, Stefan"],["dc.contributor.author","Urlaub, Henning"],["dc.contributor.author","Luehrmann, Reinhard"],["dc.contributor.author","Groot, Bert L. de"],["dc.contributor.author","Zweckstetter, Markus"],["dc.date.accessioned","2017-09-07T11:46:59Z"],["dc.date.available","2017-09-07T11:46:59Z"],["dc.date.issued","2013"],["dc.description.abstract","Serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins are important players in RNA metabolism and are extensively phosphorylated at serine residues in RS repeats. Here, we show that phosphorylation switches the RS domain of the serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1 from a fully disordered state to a partially rigidified arch-like structure. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in combination with molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the conformational switch is restricted to RS repeats, critically depends on the phosphate charge state and strongly decreases the conformational entropy of RS domains. The dynamic switch also occurs in the 100 kDa SR-related protein hPrp28, for which phosphorylation at the RS repeat is required for spliceosome assembly. Thus, a phosphorylation-induced dynamic switch is common to the class of serine/arginine-rich proteins and provides a molecular basis for the functional redundancy of serine/arginine-rich proteins and the profound influence of RS domain phosphorylation on protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.str.2013.09.014"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142236"],["dc.identifier.isi","000328914900010"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24183573"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6043"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.eissn","1878-4186"],["dc.relation.issn","0969-2126"],["dc.title","Phosphorylation Drives a Dynamic Switch in Serine/Arginine-Rich Proteins"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2010Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","5581"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","16"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Nucleic Acids Research"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","5593"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","38"],["dc.contributor.author","Kuehn-Hoelsken, Eva"],["dc.contributor.author","Lenz, Christof"],["dc.contributor.author","Dickmanns, Achim"],["dc.contributor.author","Hsiao, He-Hsuan"],["dc.contributor.author","Richter, Florian M."],["dc.contributor.author","Kastner, Berthold"],["dc.contributor.author","Ficner, Ralf"],["dc.contributor.author","Urlaub, Henning"],["dc.date.accessioned","2017-09-07T11:45:20Z"],["dc.date.available","2017-09-07T11:45:20Z"],["dc.date.issued","2010"],["dc.description.abstract","Mass spectrometry allows the elucidation of molecular details of the interaction domains of the individual components in macromolecular complexes subsequent to cross-linking of the individual components.

Step 2 catalysis additionally required Prp16, Slu7, Prp18 and Prp22. Our data further suggest that Prp2 facilitates catalytic activation by remodeling the spliceosome, including destabilizing the SF3a and SF3b proteins, likely exposing the branch site before step 1.

During translocation through the nuclear pore, transport complexes transiently interact with phenylalanine-glycine (FG) repeats of multiple nucleoporins. On the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore, CRM1 tightly interacts with the nucleoporin Nup214. Here, we present the crystal structure of a 117-amino-acid FG-repeat-containing fragment of Nup214, in complex with CRM1, Snurportin 1, and RanGTP at 2.85 angstrom resolution. The structure reveals eight binding sites for Nup214 FG motifs on CRM1, with intervening stretches that are loosely attached to the transport receptor. Nup214 binds to N- and C-terminal regions of CRM1, thereby clamping CRM1 in a closed conformation and stabilizing the export complex. The role of conserved hydrophobic pockets for the recognition of FG motifs was analyzed in biochemical and cell-based assays.
