UniProt functional annotation for P15938

UniProt code: P15938.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Influences the fidelity of branchpoint recognition in yeast splicing. This is RNA-dependent ATPase which is essential for viability. It may mediate one of the many ATP-requiring steps of spliceosome assembly and that accuracy of branchpoint recognition may be coupled to ATP binding and/or hydrolysis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1825134}.
 
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;
Subcellular location: Nucleus. Note=Binds to the spliceosome.
Miscellaneous: Present with 1250 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DEAH subfamily. PRP16 sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
