Abstract

Abstract The spliceosome is assembled through a step-wise process of binding and release of its components to and from the pre-mRNA. The remodeling process is facilitated by eight DExD/H-box RNA helicases, some of which have also been implicated in splicing fidelity control. In this study, we unveil a contrasting role for the prototypic splicing proofreader, Prp16, in promoting the utilization of aberrant 5′ splice sites and mutated branchpoints. Prp16 is not essential for the branching reaction in wild-type pre-mRNA. However, when a mutation is present at the 5′ splice site or if Cwc24 is absent, Prp16 facilitates the reaction and encourages aberrant 5′ splice site usage independently of ATP. Prp16 also promotes the utilization of mutated branchpoints while preventing the use of nearby cryptic branch sites. Our study demonstrates that Prp16 can either enhance or impede the utilization of faulty splice sites by stabilizing or destabilizing interactions with other splicing components. Thus, Prp16 exerts dual roles in 5′ splice site and branch site selection, via ATP-dependent and ATP-independent activities. Furthermore, we provide evidence that these functions of Prp16 are mediated through the step-one factor Cwc25.
