UniProt functional annotation for P43321

UniProt code: P43321.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds snRNA U1, U2, U4 and U5 which contain a highly conserved structural motif called the Sm binding site. Also binds telomerase RNA and is required for its accumulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10490028, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7799953}.
 
Subunit: Component of the Sm core complex, present in spliceosomal snRNP U1, U2, U4/U6 and U5. The core complex contains SMB1, SMD1, SMD2, SMD3, SME1, SMX3 and SMX2 (Sm proteins B, D1, D2, D3, E, F and G, respectively), and is probably a heptameric ring structure. SMD3 specifically interacts with SMB1. 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. Component of the U4/U6-U5 tri-snRNP complex composed of the U4, U6 and U5 snRNAs and at least PRP3, PRP4, PRP6, PRP8, PRP18, PRP31, PRP38, SNU13, SNU23, SNU66, SNU114, SPP381, SMB1, SMD1, SMD2, SMD3, SMX2, SMX3, LSM2, LSM3, LSM4, LSM5, LSM6, LSM7, LSM8, BRR2 and DIB1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10449419, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11302706, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11884590, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9528767}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7799953}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7799953}.
Similarity: Belongs to the snRNP core protein family. {ECO:0000305}.
