Scientific Background: PRPF4B (PRP4) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CMGC group and DYRK family. It is known to regulate pre-mRNA splicing. Identified substrates for PRPF4B include splicing factors SF2, PRPF6, and PRPF31 as well as the KLF13 and Elk1 transcription factors. The enzymatic activity of PRP4 is required for viability of pancreatic, colon and large B-cell lymphoma cancer cell lines (PubMed: 24003220). Inhibition of PRP4 activity by shRNAs was shown to resensitize chemoresistant human ovarian and breast cancer to paclitaxel treatment.
