Catalyzes the ATP-dependent unwinding of U4/U6 RNA duplices, an essential step in the assembly of a catalytically active spliceosome (PubMed:35241646). Plays a role in pre-mRNA splicing as a core component of precatalytic, catalytic and postcatalytic spliceosomal complexes (PubMed:28502770, PubMed:28781166, PubMed:29301961, PubMed:29360106, PubMed:29361316, PubMed:30315277, PubMed:30705154, PubMed:30728453). As a component of the minor spliceosome, involved in the splicing of U12-type introns in pre-mRNAs (Probable). Involved in spliceosome assembly, activation and disassembly. Mediates changes in the dynamic network of RNA-RNA interactions in the spliceosome.
