Ligands: SO4 Related: 4f77, 1vu2, 1vu3 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, RCSB, PDBsum Function [GEMI2_DROME] The SMN complex plays an essential role in spliceosomal snRNP assembly in the cytoplasm, is required for pre-mRNA splicing in the nucleus and acts as a chaperone that discriminates target and non-target RNAs of Sm proteins. [RUXE_HUMAN] Appears to function in the U7 snRNP complex that is involved in histone 3'-end processing. Associated with snRNP U1, U2, U4/U6 and U5. [ICLN_DROME] Chaperone that regulates the assembly of spliceosomal U1, U2, U4 and U5 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 (By similarity). [SMD2_HUMAN] Required for pre-mRNA splicing. Required for snRNP biogenesis (By similarity). [RUXG_HUMAN] Appears to function in the U7 snRNP complex that is involved in histone 3'-end processing. Associated with snRNP U1, U2, U4/U6 and U5. [SMD1_HUMAN] May act as a charged protein scaffold to promote snRNP assembly or strengthen snRNP-snRNP interactions through nonspecific electrostatic contacts with RNA. [RUXF_HUMAN] Appears to function in the U7 snRNP complex that is involved in histone 3'-end processing. Associated with snRNP U1, U2, U4/U6 and U5. [SMN_DROME] The SMN complex plays an essential role in spliceosomal snRNP assembly in the cytoplasm, is required for pre-mRNA splicing in the nucleus and acts as a chaperone that discriminates target and non-target RNAs of Sm proteins. Required for normal expression of spliceosomal snRNAs and for U12 intron splicing. Required in cholinergic neurons, but not in motor neurons, to ensure correct splicing and proper levels of stas mRNA and normal neurotransmitter release by motor neurons (PubMed:23063130 and PubMed:23063131). However, Smn is required in motor neurons, but not in cholinergic neurons, for normal motor behavior but plays no role in synaptic transmission according to PubMed:23103409. In both muscle and neurons, required for the formation of a normal neuromuscular junction (NMJ) structure. Plays a neuron-specific role in long-term homeostatic compensation at the larval NMJ. In the thorax of adult flies, required for Act88F, an indirect flight muscle (IFM)-specific actin, expression and for proper IFM myofibril formation. In nurse cells, oocytes and follicle cells, required to maintain normal organization of nuclear compartments including chromosomes, nucleoli, Cajal bodies, histone locus bodies and heterochromatin. Required for the functional integrity of the cytoplasmic U snRNP body (U body) and P body. Required in dividing postembryonic neuroblasts (pNBs) for the correct basal localization of mira. The tight regulation of its expression is critical for stem cell division, proliferation and differentiation in male germline and developing central nervous system (CNS). Required for tracheal terminal cell lumen formation. Publication Abstract from PubMed Small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) represent key constituents of major and minor spliceosomes. snRNPs contain a common core, composed of seven Sm proteins bound to snRNA, which forms in a step-wise and factor-mediated reaction. The assembly chaperone pICln initially mediates the formation of an otherwise unstable pentameric Sm protein unit. This so-called 6S complex docks subsequently onto the SMN complex, which removes pICln and enables the transfer of pre-assembled Sm proteins onto snRNA. X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy was used to investigate the structural basis of snRNP assembly. The 6S complex structure identifies pICln as an Sm protein mimic, which enables the topological organization of the Sm pentamer in a closed ring. A second structure of 6S bound to the SMN complex components SMN and Gemin2 uncovers a plausible mechanism of pICln elimination and Sm protein activation for snRNA binding. Our studies reveal how assembly factors facilitate formation of RNA-protein complexes in vivo.
