== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GEMI5_HUMAN GEMI5_HUMAN] The SMN complex plays a catalyst role in the assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), the building blocks of the spliceosome. Thereby, plays an important role in the splicing of cellular pre-mRNAs. Most spliceosomal snRNPs contain a common set of Sm proteins SNRPB, SNRPD1, SNRPD2, SNRPD3, SNRPE, SNRPF and SNRPG that assemble in a heptameric protein ring on the Sm site of the small nuclear RNA to form the core snRNP. In the cytosol, the Sm proteins SNRPD1, SNRPD2, SNRPE, SNRPF and SNRPG are trapped in an inactive 6S pICln-Sm complex by the chaperone CLNS1A that controls the assembly of the core snRNP. Dissociation by the SMN complex of CLNS1A from the trapped Sm proteins and their transfer to an SMN-Sm complex triggers the assembly of core snRNPs and their transport to the nucleus. GEMIN5 acts as the snRNA-binding protein of the SMN complex.<ref>PMID:11714716</ref> <ref>PMID:16857593</ref> <ref>PMID:18984161</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Gemin5 in the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) complex serves as the RNA-binding protein to deliver small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) to the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein Sm complex via its N-terminal WD40 domain. Additionally, the C-terminal region plays an important role in regulating RNA translation by directly binding to viral RNAs and cellular mRNAs. Here, we present the three-dimensional structure of the Gemin5 C-terminal region, which adopts a homodecamer architecture comprised of a dimer of pentamers. By structural analysis, mutagenesis, and RNA-binding assays, we find that the intact pentamer/decamer is critical for the Gemin5 C-terminal region to bind cognate RNA ligands and to regulate mRNA translation. The Gemin5 high-order architecture is assembled via pentamerization, allowing binding to RNA ligands in a coordinated manner. We propose a model depicting the regulatory role of Gemin5 in selective RNA binding and translation. Therefore, our work provides insights into the SMN complex-independent function of Gemin5.
