UniProt functional annotation for Q08963

UniProt code: Q08963.

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. Associates to U2 snRNA in a MSL1 dependent manner and is required for normal accumulation of U2 snRNA. Required for the spliceosome assembly and the efficient addition of U2 snRNP onto the pre-mRNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9799242}.
 
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. Interacts with MSL1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11884590, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9799242}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095}.
Miscellaneous: Present with 3630 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein A family. {ECO:0000305}.
