Cancer-Associated Substitutions in RNA Recognition Motifs of PUF60 and U2AF65 Reveal Residues Required for Correct Folding and 3′ Splice-Site Selection

U2AF65 (<i>U2AF2</i>) and PUF60 (<i>PUF60</i>) are splicing factors important for recruitment of the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein to lariat branch points and selection of 3′ splice sites (3′ss). Both proteins preferentially bind uridine-rich sequences upstream of 3′ss v...
