Crystal structure of a hairpin ribozyme in the catalytically-active conformation
Structural highlights
1m5k is a 6 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. This structure supersedes the now removed PDB entry 1hp6. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
SNRPA_HUMAN Binds stem loop II of U1 snRNA. It is the first snRNP to interact with pre-mRNA. This interaction is required for the subsequent binding of U2 snRNP and the U4/U6/U5 tri-snRNP. In a snRNP-free form (SF-A) may be involved in coupled pre-mRNA splicing and polyadenylation process. Binds preferentially to the 5'-UGCAC-3' motif in vitro.[1]
