prp45(1–169) delays cotranscriptional spliceosome assembly. ChIP-qPCR analysis of cotranscriptional recruitment of spliceosomal components was performed on the ECM33 and ACT1 genes (A,J; positions of PCR amplicons are indicated). Cells expressing HA-tagged Prp45 or Prp45(1–169) were used for ChIP-qPCR with the anti-HA antibody. Signals were normalized to input values and expressed as the fold enrichment relative to the signal from exon 1 in the Prp45-HA strain. The strain without the tagged protein served as a negative control (B,K). RNA Pol II ChIP signals were obtained using the anti-Rpb3 antibody. Cotranscriptional spliceosome assembly was monitored via the recruitment of HA-tagged components of commitment complex 1 using HA-tagged Prp42 (D,M), Msl5 (E,N), and Mud2 (F,O). Subsequent stages of spliceosome formation were followed using HA-tagged members of U2 snRNP (Msl1; G,P), U5 snRNP (Brr2; H,Q), and NTC (Prp19; I,R). Signals were normalized to input values and expressed as the fold enrichment relative to the signal obtained from the telomeric region (TELVIR; graphs C–I and L–R). Error bars represent SD from at least four independent experiments.
