PRP16 [YKR086W]
DEAH-box RNA helicase involved in second catalytic step of splicing and in exon ligation; exhibits ATP-dependent RNA unwinding activity; mediates the release of Yju2p and Cwc25p in the second step; in the absence of ATP, stabilizes the binding of Cwc25p to the spliceosome in the first catalytic step; missense mutation in human ortholog DHX38 associated with early-onset retinitis pigmentosa; Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DEAH subfamily. PRP16 sub-subfamily.
