The human proteins CDC5L (hCDC5) and PLRG1 are
both highly conserved components of a multiprotein complex that is a
subunit of the spliceosome. The respective homologues in yeast of both proteins are also associated with a sub-spliceosomal multiprotein complex that has been shown to be important for pre-mRNA splicing. We show that these two human proteins are associated in
vivo and will interact directly in vitro. The regions
containing the interacting domains in both proteins have been
identified. Our results indicate that the carboxyl-terminal region of
CDC5L and the WD40 domain of PLRG1 are essential for direct interaction
between both proteins. By using a bacterially expressed mutant protein,
containing the PLRG1 interacting domain in CDC5L, we show that the
CDC5L-PLRG1 interaction in HeLa nuclear extract can be disrupted
causing pre-mRNA splicing to be inhibited. Thus, a direct
interaction between the CDC5L protein and PLRG1 in the CDC5L complex is
essential for pre-mRNA splicing progression.
