Pre-mRNA-splicing factor ATP-dependent RNA helicase DHX15 (DHX15)

The protein contains 795 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 90933 Da.

 

Pre-mRNA processing factor involved in disassembly of spliceosomes after the release of mature mRNA. In cooperation with TFIP11 seem to be involved in the transition of the U2, U5 and U6 snRNP-containing IL complex to the snRNP-free IS complex leading to efficient debranching and turnover of excised introns.

CLONING

By RT-PCR of HeLa cell mRNA with degenerate primers based on conserved regions of DEAH box proteins, Ono et al. (1994) isolated partial cDNAs encoding 5 members of the human DEAH box family, including HRH1 and HRH2. They determined that HRH2 shares 61% amino acid sequence identity with S. cerevisiae JA1. Imamura et al. (1997) isolated cDNAs corresponding to the entire coding region of HRH2, which they called DBP1 (DEAH box protein 1). The predicted 813-amino acid protein contains 7 consecutive motifs characteristic of ATP-dependent RNA helicases, as well as consensus sequences for structural motifs of a DNA/RNA helicase with a DEAH box. Northern blot analysis revealed that DBP1 was expressed as a 3.4-kb mRNA in all tissues tested. An additional larger transcript was observed in many tissues. Gee et al. (1997) isolated cDNAs encoding the mouse HRH2 homolog, mDEAH9. Gee et al. (1997) reported that mDEAH9 and Prp43 are 65% identical over a 500-amino acid region spanning the central helicase domain and C-terminal region, and that mDEAH9 and HRH2 were 98% identical in the helicase domain. When expressed in yeast, mDEAH9 complemented the Prp43 mutation specifically, although with less efficiency than the native yeast protein. Immunofluorescence experiments showed that mDEAH9 colocalizes with splicing factor SC35 (600813) in punctate nuclear speckles in mammalian cells, consistent with its predicted role as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Gee et al. (1997) suggested that mDEAH9 represents a mammalian homolog of Prp43.

MAPPING

By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Imamura et al. (1997) mapped the DHX15 gene to chromosome 4p15.3. ... More on the omim web site
