UniProt functional annotation for Q8WTR7

UniProt code: Q8WTR7.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Involved in histone 3'-end pre-mRNA processing by associating with U7 snRNP and interacting with SLBP/pre-mRNA complex. Increases histone 3'-end pre-mRNA processing but has no effect on U7 snRNP levels, when overexpressed. Required for cell cycle progression from G1 to S phases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11782445, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16714279, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16914750}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with the SLBP/pre-mRNA complex but not with SLBP alone. Interacts with LSM11 in a U7 snRNP-dependent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11782445, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12975319, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15824063, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16714279}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16714279}. Note=Stable component of Cajal bodies (CBs). Colocalizes with SMN, coilin and U7 snRNA.
Domain: The C2H2-type zinc finger 2 to 6 are necessary and sufficient for discrete Cajal bodies localization. The C2H2-type zinc finger 5 to 10 are necessary and sufficient for interaction with LSM11. The C2H2- type zinc finger 2 to 8 are necessary for interaction with the SLBP/RNA complex in the histone pre-mRNAs. The C2H2-type zinc finger 2 to 10 confer activity in histone pre-mRNA processing.
Similarity: Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAA86455.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
