UniProt functional annotation for P40968

UniProt code: P40968.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: May function in the second step of pre-mRNA splicing. Regulatory protein involved in replication and mitotic spindle formation and/or maintenance. Required for initiation and completion of S-phase and for initiation and completion of DNA replication. Might be required for the maintenance of microtubules. Essential only at elevated temperatures.
 
Subunit: Belongs to the CWC complex (or CEF1-associated complex), a spliceosome sub-complex reminiscent of a late-stage spliceosome composed of the U2, U5 and U6 snRNAs and at least BUD13, BUD31, BRR2, CDC40, CEF1, CLF1, CUS1, CWC2, CWC15, CWC21, CWC22, CWC23, CWC24, CWC25, CWC27, ECM2, HSH155, IST3, ISY1, LEA1, MSL1, NTC20, PRP8, PRP9, PRP11, PRP19, PRP21, PRP22, PRP45, PRP46, SLU7, SMB1, SMD1, SMD2, SMD3, SMX2, SMX3, SNT309, SNU114, SPP2, SYF1, SYF2, RSE1 and YJU2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11884590}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Miscellaneous: Present with 1630 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
