Description: Homo sapiens PRP8 pre-mRNA processing factor 8 homolog (S. cerevisiae) (PRPF8), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_006445): Pre-mRNA splicing occurs in 2 sequential transesterification steps. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of both U2- and U12-dependent spliceosomes, and found to be essential for the catalytic step II in pre-mRNA splicing process. It contains several WD repeats, which function in protein-protein interactions. This protein has a sequence similarity to yeast Prp8 protein. This gene is a candidate gene for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

ID:PRP8_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Pre-mRNA-processing-splicing factor 8; AltName: Full=220 kDa U5 snRNP-specific protein; AltName: Full=PRP8 homolog; AltName: Full=Splicing factor Prp8; AltName: Full=p220; FUNCTION: Central component of the spliceosome, which may play a role in aligning the pre-mRNA 5'- and 3'-exons for ligation. Interacts with U5 snRNA, and with pre-mRNA 5'-splice sites in B spliceosomes and 3'-splice sites in C spliceosomes. SUBUNIT: Part of the U5 snRNP complex, and of U5.4/6 and U5.U4atac/U6atac snRNP complexes in U2- and U12-dependent spliceosomes, respectively. Found in a mRNA splicing-dependent exon junction complex (EJC) with SRRM1. Interacts with U5 snRNP proteins SNRP116 and WDR57/SPF38. Interacts with EFTUD2 and SNRNP200. INTERACTION: Q15029:EFTUD2; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-538479, EBI-357897; Q96DI7:SNRNP40; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-538479, EBI-538492; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus speckle (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. DOMAIN: The MPN domain has structural similarity with viral ribonucleases and RNase H, but unlike RNases, it does not bind any metal ions. PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. DISEASE: Defects in PRPF8 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 13 (RP13) [MIM:600059]. RP leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP13 inheritance is autosomal dominant. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 MPN (JAB/Mov34) domain. WEB RESOURCE: Name=GeneReviews; URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/GeneTests/lab/gene/PRPF8";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
