Scaffolding in the Spliceosome via Single alpha Helices.

PubMed Abstract: The spliceosomal B complex-specific protein Prp38 forms a complex with the intrinsically unstructured proteins MFAP1 and Snu23. Our binding and crystal structure analyses show that MFAP1 and Snu23 contact Prp38 via ER/K motif-stabilized single α helices, which have previously been recognized only as rigid connectors or force springs between protein domains. A variant of the Prp38-binding single α helix of MFAP1, in which ER/K motifs not involved in Prp38 binding were mutated, was less α-helical in isolation and showed a reduced Prp38 affinity, with opposing tendencies in interaction enthalpy and entropy. Our results indicate that the strengths of single α helix-based interactions can be tuned by the degree of helix stabilization in the unbound state. MFAP1, Snu23, and several other spliceosomal proteins contain multiple regions that likely form single α helices via which they might tether several binding partners and act as intermittent scaffolds that facilitate remodeling steps during assembly of an active spliceosome.
