A protein complex consisting of Prp19 and associated proteins that is involved in the transition from the precatalytic spliceosome to the activated form that catalyzes step 1 of splicing, and which remains associated with the spliceosome through the second catalytic step. It is widely conserved, found in both yeast and mammals, though the exact composition varies. In S. cerevisiae, it contains Prp19p, Ntc20p, Snt309p, Isy1p, Syf2p, Cwc2p, Prp46p, Clf1p, Cef1p, and Syf1p. [GOC:krc, PMID:16540691, PMID:19239890]
The Prp19 complex is a large, multi-protein complex essential for pre-mRNA splicing in eukaryotes. It is located within the nucleus, specifically associated with the spliceosome, a dynamic macromolecular machine that catalyzes the removal of introns from pre-mRNA. The complex consists of multiple proteins, each contributing to its diverse functions.
The Prp19 complex primarily functions in the second step of splicing, the catalytic step. This complex plays a critical role in the rearrangement of the spliceosome, allowing the correct positioning of the catalytic center for the splicing reaction.
Here's a detailed breakdown of its cellular component:
* **Nucleus:** The Prp19 complex is confined to the nucleus, the cellular compartment where pre-mRNA splicing occurs.
* **Spliceosome:** The complex is directly associated with the spliceosome, the intricate structure responsible for intron removal. It is embedded within the spliceosome, interacting with various components to facilitate its function.
* **Spliceosomal snRNPs (small nuclear ribonucleoproteins):** The Prp19 complex interacts with several snRNPs, particularly U5 snRNP, which plays a crucial role in the catalytic step of splicing. These interactions are vital for the proper assembly and function of the spliceosome.
Overall, the Prp19 complex is a vital component of the spliceosome, residing within the nucleus and actively participating in the crucial second step of pre-mRNA splicing.'
