Background
The protein encoded by this gene appears to be involved in pre-mRNA splicing, possibly acting as a bridging factor between U5 and U4/U6 snRNPs in formation of the spliceosome. The encoded protein also can bind androgen receptor, providing a link between transcriptional activation and splicing. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. May act in the tri-snRNP complex as a bridging factor between U5 and U4/U6 snRNPs in the late step of spliceosome assembly. May be necessary for tri-snRNP formation.,similarity:Contains 9 HAT repeats.,subunit:Associates with the U5 snRNP particle (containing the 40 kDa, 52 kDa, 116 kDa, 200 kDa and 220 kDa proteins) probably via interaction(s) with the 220 kDa and/or other proteins. Associates with U4/U6 snRNP particle (containing the 15.5 kDa, 20 kDa/60kDa/90kDa heteromer, LSm proteins LSm2-8, 61 kDa and Sm proteins). Interacts with ARAF1. Identified in the spliceosome C complex, at least composed of AQR, ASCC3L1, C19orf29, CDC40, CDC5L, CRNKL1, DDX23, DDX41, DDX48, DDX5, DGCR14, DHX35, DHX38, DHX8, EFTUD2, FRG1, GPATC1, HNRPA1, HNRPA2B1, HNRPA3, HNRPC, HNRPF, HNRPH1, HNRPK, HNRPM, HNRPR, HNRPU, KIAA1160, KIAA1604, LSM2, LSM3, MAGOH, MORG1, PABPC1
