| Function: | Component of the spliceosomal U1 snRNP, which is essential for recognition of the pre-mRNA 5' splice-site and the subsequent assembly of the spliceosome. SNRPC/U1-C is directly involved in initial 5' splice-site recognition for both constitutive and regulated alternative splicing. The interaction with the 5' splice-site seems to precede base-pairing between the pre-mRNA and the U1 snRNA. Stimulates commitment or early (E) complex formation by stabilizing the base pairing of the 5' end of the U1 snRNA and the 5' splice-site region. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03153, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1826349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19325628, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2136774, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8798632}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the U1 snRNP (PubMed:2136774). The U1 snRNP is composed of the U1 snRNA and the 7 core Sm proteins SNRPB, SNRPD1, SNRPD2, SNRPD3, SNRPE, SNRPF and SNRPG that assemble in a heptameric protein ring on the Sm site of the small nuclear RNA to form the core snRNP, and at least 3 U1 snRNP-specific proteins SNRNP70/U1-70K, SNRPA/U1-A and SNRPC/U1-C. SNRPC/U1-C interacts with U1 snRNA and the 5' splice-site region of the pre-mRNA. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_03153, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15312772, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15525645, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19325628, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2136774, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25555158}. | |
