UniProt functional annotation for Q12330

UniProt code: Q12330.

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 and is required for the stability of snRNA U1, U2, U4 and U5 which contain a highly conserved structural motif called the Sm binding site. Involved in cap modification. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8918241}.
 
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. SME1 specifically interacts with SMX2 and SMX3. 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:9528767}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11027265}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11027265}.
Miscellaneous: Present with 556 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the snRNP Sm proteins family. {ECO:0000305}.
