Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

PRPF8 (hPrp8/Prp8) is the central scaffolding protein of the spliceosome catalytic core, an essential, RNA-free component of the U5 snRNP and U4/U5/U6 tri-snRNP that remains stably associated with the spliceosome throughout both transesterification steps and into post-splicing intron complexes (PMID:2479028, PMID:2138328, PMID:9774689). It is a core factor of both the major U2-dependent and minor U12-dependent spliceosomes (PMID:10411133), and makes direct, largely non-sequence-specific contacts with the pre-mRNA at the 5' splice site, branch point, and 3' splice site as well as with U5 and U6 snRNAs, positioning the reactive exons and intron termini within the active site (PMID:1945827, PMID:7781612, PMID:10444595, PMID:10444596, PMID:26393790). Crystallographic and biochemical work showed that its central region is built from reverse-transcriptase-like, endonuclease-like, and RNaseH-like domains that together form a large cavity accommodating the splice sites and branch-point crosslink — the catalytic cavity of the spliceosome (PMID:18836455, PMID:23354046) — while its C-terminal Jab1/MPN domain is a catalytically dead pseudoenzyme fold serving as a protein-protein interaction platform (PMID:17317632). PRPF8 governs the timing of spliceosome activation by regulating the Brr2 helicase that unwinds U4/U6: its RNaseH domain binds the single-stranded U4 region and blocks Brr2 loading, its C-terminal tail inserts into Brr2's RNA-binding tunnel to competitively repress its ATPase and unwinding activities, and its Jab1/MPN domain binds the Brr2 helicase cassette and stimulates activity, coupling 5' splice site recognition to U4/U6 unwinding (PMID:10024880, PMID:19098916, PMID:23124066, PMID:23727230, PMID:23704370). A conformational switch in its RNaseH domain between the two catalytic steps unmasks a metal-binding site required for exon ligation, establishing PRPF8 as a metalloprotein that controls the first-to-second step transition (PMID:23686287, PMID:28416677). PRPF8 also coordinates U5 snRNP biogenesis: it carries a nuclear localization signal required for import of a Brr2-free precursor U5 snRNP, with Aar2 and Brr2 binding the Jab1/MPN domain mutually exclusively to drive the cytoplasm-to-nucleus maturation switch (PMID:17934474, PMID:23727230), and its delivery to the nascent U5 snRNP is chaperoned by Ecdysoneless (PMID:33444449). Transcriptome-wide, PRPF8 is required for efficient splicing of introns with weak 5' splice sites and for fidelity of 5' splice site selection (PMID:26392272, PMID:38605034). Heterozygous missense mutations clustered at the C-terminus cause autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP13) by weakening Brr2/Snu114 binding, impairing U5 snRNP biogenesis and Brr2 repression, and disrupting 5' splice site selection and the first-to-second step transition in photoreceptors (PMID:11468273, PMID:17317632, PMID:19098916, PMID:23704370, PMID:38605034).

2013 In vivo CLIP/CRAC analysis reveals that Prp8 contacts U1 and U2 snRNAs in addition to its known U5, U6, and pre-mRNA contacts; disruption of Prp8–U1 snRNA interaction reduces tri-snRNP levels in the spliceosome, revealing a role for Prp8 in spliceosomal assembly through U1 snRNA interaction. CLIP/CRAC with next-generation sequencing, in vivo crosslinking, functional analysis of U1 interaction mutants Nucleic acids research Medium 23393194
2013 Prp8 contacts with nucleotides surrounding the branch-site are enhanced during step 1 catalysis (in C complex), as revealed by UV-induced crosslinking of purified yeast B(act) and C spliceosomes on site-specifically labeled pre-mRNA.

2014 Picornaviral 3D polymerase (RdRp) enters the nucleus and associates with the C-terminal Jab1/MPN domain of Prp8, interfering with the second catalytic step of splicing and causing accumulation of lariat splicing intermediates; this disrupts pre-mRNA splicing of endogenous transcripts involved in cell growth and differentiation. Co-immunoprecipitation, domain mapping, in vitro splicing assay, nuclear fractionation, identification of endogenous trapped pre-mRNAs PLoS pathogens Medium 24968230
2014 PRPF8 deficiency (knockdown or hemizygous deletion) in K562 and CD34+ bone marrow cells causes missplicing defects and increased proliferative capacity; yeast models with homologous PRPF8 mutations abrogate the second-step block in splicing, suggesting the mutations impair proofreading function. Knockdown experiments, whole-RNA deep sequencing, yeast complementation/mutagenesis Leukemia Medium 24781015
2015 PRPF8 depletion preferentially impairs splicing of introns with weak 5' splice sites across the human transcriptome, leading to mitotic arrest; iCLIP shows PRPF8 depletion decreases RNP complex formation at most splice sites, and experimental enhancement of 5' splice site strength overcomes the effects of PRPF8 depletion. siRNA knockdown, RNA-seq, iCLIP, minigene splicing assays Genome biology High 26392272
2015 Stable tri-snRNP integration into the exon-defined complex requires interaction between Prp8 and nucleotides at the exon–intron junction (5' splice site), and this is the key trigger for the major structural rearrangement from 37S to 45S B-like complex, independent of B-specific proteins or hPrp31 phosphorylation. Electron microscopy, affinity purification, addition of 5'ss RNA oligonucleotides to cross-exon complexes RNA (New York, N.Y.) Medium 26385511
2015 Prp8 interacts physically with the androgen receptor (AR) via the AR nuclear export signal (NES); co-immunoprecipitation and deletion mutagenesis demonstrate Prp8-AR interaction, and Prp8 knockdown induces nuclear accumulation of AR and increases its polyubiquitination, modulating AR transcriptional activity. Co-immunoprecipitation, deletion mutagenesis, shRNA knockdown, rapamycin export assay, luciferase reporter assay Molecular endocrinology (Baltimore, Md.) Low 26371515
2016 A subset of RP-linked Prp8 mutations (mapping to the hinge linking the Jab1-MPN tail to the globular domain) cause defects in the transition between the first and second catalytic steps of splicing, in addition to spliceosome activation defects; genetic analyses link Snu114 GTP/GDP occupancy to Prp8-dependent regulation of Brr2.

2017 The RNaseH domain of Prp8 contains a 17-aa extension (Switch loop) that can adopt two mutually exclusive structures; prp8 alleles mapping to this extension fall into two functional classes—those promoting error-prone/efficient splicing versus hyperaccurate/inefficient splicing—and error-prone alleles suppress a prp2 mutant deficient at promoting the first catalytic step.

2017 PRPF8 depletion causes a specific defect in homology-directed repair (HDR) and single-strand annealing (SSA), which require BRCA1; PRPF8 depletion reduces end resection (measured as chromatin-bound RPA), BRCA1 foci, and histone acetylation marks associated with BRCA1-mediated HR. siRNA knockdown, DR-GFP/SA-GFP HR reporter assays, immunofluorescence (BRCA1, RPA, histone acetylation foci) Oncotarget Medium 29212152
2018 Mutagenesis of Prp8 residues identified by amino acid probing to be positioned near U5 snRNA reveals their role in 5' splice site recognition; genetic interactions with Isy1 and Snu114 further support that Prp8–U5 snRNA interactions help position the pre-mRNA into the active site.

2019 Two prp-8 alleles in C. elegans identified by genetic screen alter cryptic splice site usage frequency; complementary genetic and structural analyses in yeast implicate these alleles in stability of the spliceosome catalytic core; high-throughput mRNA sequencing shows overall alternative splicing patterns are relatively unchanged despite effects on cryptic splicing.

2021 The evolutionarily conserved protein Ecdysoneless (Ecd) chaperones Prp8 delivery to the forming U5 snRNP in the cytoplasm; Ecd deficiency leads to reduced Prp8 protein levels and compromised U5 snRNP biogenesis, causing loss of splicing fidelity; SmD3 was identified as a novel interaction partner of Ecd.

2023 PRPF8 silencing in hepatocellular carcinoma cells modulates fibronectin (FN1) splicing by promoting exclusion of exon 40.2, which reduces FAK/AKT phosphorylation and blunts stress fiber formation, thereby decreasing invasive capacity; CLIPseq analysis shows PRPF8 binds preferentially to exons of protein-coding genes. siRNA knockdown, RNA-seq, CLIPseq, Western blot (FAK/AKT phosphorylation), invasion assay, xenograft tumor growth Experimental & molecular medicine Medium 36609600
2024 The PRPF8/Brr2 regulatory axis controls 5' splice site (5'SS) selection; the heterozygous PRPF8 c.6926 A>C (p.H2309P) RP mutation impairs alternative splicing and weak/suboptimal 5'SS selection, enhances cryptic splicing in ciliary/retinal-specific transcripts, alters PRPF8 interaction with U6 snRNA, and causes accumulation of active spliceosomes and poly(A)+ mRNAs at nuclear periphery splicing clusters in photoreceptors.
