The spliceosome is a potent stimulator of Prp2’s NTPase activity. (A) UTP hydrolysis was investigated by TLC and quantified by a PhosphorImager. UTP hydrolysis by the purified Bact ΔPrp2 ΔSpp2 spliceosomes in either the absence [Act-wt Bact (bg)] or presence (Prp2 Act-wt Bact) of Prp2 or by Prp2 alone (Prp2) was determined. The amount of UTP hydrolyzed by Prp2 in spliceosomes (“UTP•spliceosome−1”) and hydrolyzed by Prp2 in the absence of the spliceosome (Prp2) (“UTP•[Prp2]−1”) is plotted as a function of time. Prp2 Act-wt Bact (−bg) was generated by subtracting the spliceosome alone [Act-wt Bact (bg)] values from those obtained with Prp2 Act-wt Bact. (B) Initial rate of UTP hydrolysis by Prp2 in spliceosomes within the first 2 min of the time course. Data points were analyzed by linear regression to derive the initial rate of Prp2-catalyzed UTP hydrolysis in the context of the spliceosome.
