additional information design of a mutant of Prp43 which allows us to trap the closed conformation by the introduction of an internal disulfide bond (ctPrp43-IDSB). For this purpose, one cysteine is introduced into the RecA1 domain and another one into the ratchet-like domain at exposed positions to maximize the number of formed disulfide bonds. The wild-type protein contains nine cysteines, the ctPrp43-IDSB mutant two additional ones, the majority of ctPrp43-IDSB exhibits the internal disulfide bridge. Prp43 trapped in the closed conformation is impaired in its helicase activity. The intrinsic ATPase activity of ctPrp43-IDSB is similar to the one determined for wild-type ctPrp43. ctPrp43-IDSB is also stimulated by ctPfa1-GP and by U16-RNA in the presence of the ctPfa1-GP, but in the contrast to wild-type Prp43 also just by U16-RNA. Prp43 in the trapped closed conformation appears to be more prone for the stimulation of the ATPase.

additional information RNA loading mechanism of Prp43, overview. Prp43 binds RNA in a sequence-independent fashion. Analysis of crystal structures of Prp43 complexes in different functional states and the analysis of structure-based mutants providing insights into the unwinding and loading mechanism of RNAs. The Prp43-ATP-analogue-RNA complex shows the localization of the RNA inside a tunnel formed by the two RecA-like and C-terminal domains. In the ATP-bound state this tunnel can be transformed into a groove prone for RNA binding by large rearrangements of the C-terminal domains. Several conformational changes between the ATP- and ADP-bound states explain the coupling of ATP hydrolysis to RNA translocation, mainly mediated by a beta-turn of the RecA1 domain containing the identified RF motif. This mechanism is clearly different to those of other RNA helicases. Prp43 adopts an open conformation after ATP binding and switches into the closed conformation after binding to RNA.

physiological function the DEAH-box helicase Prp43 is a key player in pre-mRNA splicing as well as the maturation of rRNAs, RNA loading mechanism of Prp43, detailed overview. Prp43 acts at the latest stage of the splicing cycle and it is required to dismantle the intron-lariat spliceosome into the excised lariat and the U2-U5-U6 snRNPs. The target substrate of Prp43 during this process is the RNA network between the U2 snRNP and the branch site of the intron. In the spliceosome, Prp43 is crosslinked exclusively to the pre-mRNA and not to any snRNAs. The opening of the tunnel by the displacement of the C-terminal domains is crucial for the helicase function of Prp43 Thermochaetoides thermophila
