General Information

  • Identifier IPR038959
  • Description Pre-mRNA-processing factor 19

Abstract

This family includes Pre-mRNA-processing factor 19 (Prp19) and its homologues. Prp19 is an ubiquitin ligase involved in pre-mRNA splicing and the DNA damage response (DDR) [ 1 ]. Human Prp19 is part of the nineteen complex (NTC), which acts as a multimeric E3 ubiquitin ligase in DNA repair and splicing. Prp19 forms a homotetramer and is an autoinhibited E3 ubiquitin ligase; its activation requires its interaction with splicing factors SPF27, CDC5L, and PLRG1 [ 2 ].
