Protein
Probable U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein LSm4
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Plays role in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the U4/U6-U5 tri-snRNP complex that is involved in spliceosome assembly, and as component of the precatalytic spliceosome (spliceosome B complex). The heptameric LSM2-8 complex binds specifically to the 3'-terminal U-tract of U6 snRNA.
Similarity
Belongs to the snRNP Sm proteins family.
