Abstract
The U1, U2, U4/U6, and U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) involved in pre-mRNA splicing contain seven Sm proteins (B/B', D1, D2, D3, E, F, and G) in common, which assemble around the Sm site present in four of the major spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). These proteins share a common sequence motif in two segments, Sm1 and Sm2, separated by a short variable linker. Crystal structures of two Sm protein complexes, D3B and D1D2, show that these proteins have a common fold containing an N-terminal helix followed by a strongly bent five-stranded antiparallel beta sheet, and the D1D2 and D3B dimers superpose closely in their core regions, including the dimer interfaces. The crystal structures suggest that the seven Sm proteins could form a closed ring and the snRNAs may be bound in the positively charged central hole.

Figure 4. The Interaction between the D and B Proteins within the Heterodimer(A) Stereo view of the D[3]B dimeric complex. D[3], orange; B, blue. The β 5 strand of the D[3] protein pairs with the β 4 strand of the B protein, forming a continuous antiparallel β sheet. The loops L2, L3, L4, and L5 are extending in the same direction.(B) Ball-and-stick model (stereo view) of the main dimer interface stabilized by the paired β strands and hydrophobic clustering of Phe-27 (strand β 2) of the B protein and Phe-70 of the D[3] protein. The hydrogen bond between the Gly-65 of D3 and Arg-73 of B stabilizes the conformation of loop L5.(C) A close-up stereo view of the D[3] and B protein interface including the hydrophobic cluster between residues on the β sheet outer surface of the B protein and residues on helix A and strands β 1β 2, and β 5 of the D[3] protein. Pro-6 of the D[3] protein makes close contact with Ala-33, the highly conserved Asp-35 and Asn-39, and Ile-41 of the B protein.(D) The intersubunit salt bridge between Glu-21 (D[3]) and Arg-65 (B) and a cluster of arginines showing stacking of the guanidinium groups (Arg-69 of D[3] and Arg-25 and Arg-49 of B). The sigma A–weighted 2Fo − Fc map indicates the high quality of the electron density. Figure produced with SETOR ([[3]12]).
