PRPF8-mediated dysregulation of hBrr2 helicase disrupts human spliceosome kinetics and 5´-splice-site selection causing tissue-specific defects

Abstract The carboxy-terminus of the spliceosomal protein PRPF8, which regulates the RNA helicase Brr2, is a hotspot for mutations causing retinitis pigmentosa-type 13, with unclear role in human splicing and tissue-specificity mechanism. We used patient induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cells,...
