Before transition can take place between the two catalytic steps, the activated complex B* must be prepared. This is done through the activity of the Brr2 complex. The RNas-H domain, which blocked Brr2’s single stranded loading sight on U4/U6 complex, blocks Brr2’s helicase activity[12]. The disruption of the RNas-H interaction allows for the binding of Brr2, which joins the spliceosome complex after it exits the nucleus. Brr2 then catalyzes the ATP dependent unwinding of U4 snRNA from the U4/U6 complex. After carrying out this reaction, Brr2 remains attached to the spliceosome and will later assist in the dissociation of the U2/U6 complex during spliceosome breakdown [12]. The Prp8 protein interacts with Brr2 through its c-terminal. | Before transition can take place between the two catalytic steps, the activated complex B* must be prepared.

The activity of the Brr2 complex is regulated by Jab1/MPN. The Jab1/MPN belongs to a class of deubiquitinating enzymes that allows it to bind ubiquitin. It has been suggested that Jab1 may interact with ubiquitinated splicing factors that function to regulate splicing activity | The activity of the Brr2 complex is regulated by Jab1/MPN. The Jab1/MPN belongs to a class of deubiquitinating enzymes that allows it to bind ubiquitin. It has been suggested that Jab1 may interact with ubiquitinated splicing factors that function to regulate splicing activity<ref>Bellare, Priya, Guthrie C, Kutach AK, Rines AK, Sontheimer EJ.

Web. 13 Apr. 2015.</ref> The tail of Jab1/MPN has charged residues that interact with Brr2’s RNA pocket. When induced by a signal, Jab1 releases its tail from the binding motif, triggering the helicase activities of Brr2 and releasing it from its locked conformation [12]. Jab1 has also been found to stabilize the U4/U5/U6 triple snRNP complex. | ||
Many of the folds within the reverse transcriptase domain resemble the structure of polymerase enzymes. The domain is missing two of three catalytic aspartate residues though, which diminishes its nucleic acid synthesis abilities [9]. The remainder of the last catalytic residue allows for the domain to bind with a metal ion and carry out transfer reactions involving nucleotides and phophoryl groups plus hydrolysis of phosphoester bonds[9]. | Many of the folds within the reverse transcriptase domain resemble the structure of polymerase enzymes.
