Protein
Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein SmD1b
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Involved in splicing regulation. Facilitates post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) by limiting the degradation of transgene aberrant RNAs by the RNA quality control (RQC) machinery, thus favoring their entry into cytoplasmic siRNA bodies where they can trigger PTGS. Does not participate in the production of small RNAs.
Similarity
Belongs to the snRNP core protein family.
