UniProt functional annotation for P21372

UniProt code: P21372.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: ATP-dependent RNA helicase involved spliceosome assembly and in nuclear splicing. Catalyzes an ATP-dependent conformational change of U2 snRNP. Bridges U1 and U2 snRNPs and enables stable U2 snRNP association with intron RNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11927574, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14610285, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16314500, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8065365, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8405998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8622683, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8969184, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8969185}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + H2O = ADP + H(+) + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13065, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=3.6.4.13;
Subunit: Interacts with the U2 snRNP and HSH155. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11927574, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16314500}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095}.
Domain: The Q motif is unique to and characteristic of the DEAD box family of RNA helicases and controls ATP binding and hydrolysis.
Miscellaneous: Present with 358 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX46/PRP5 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
