The human 56-kD U2AF65-associated protein (hUAP56), a
member of the DExD/H box protein family of RNA-dependent ATPases, is
required for the stable binding of U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA
branchpoint. Here we identify a highly conserved Saccharomyces
cerevisiae homolog of hUAP56, yUAP/Sub2p. yUAP/Sub2p can be
functionally substituted for by hUAP56 and, like its human counterpart,
is an essential pre-mRNA splicing factor. yUAP/Sub2p is required for
formation of the commitment complex, the precursor for U2 snRNP
addition. In conjunction with previous studies, we conclude that at
least two DExD/H box proteins, Prp5p and yUAP/Sub2p, mediate the U2 snRNP-branchpoint interaction.
