LSM8

Gene
LSM8
Protein
U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein LSm8
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Length
109 amino acids
Function
Component of the nuclear LSM2-LSM8 complex, which is involved in splicing of nuclear mRNAs. LSM2-LSM8 associates with multiple snRNP complexes containing the U6 snRNA (U4/U6 snRNP, spliceosomal U4/U6.U5 snRNP, and free U6 snRNP). It binds directly to the U6 snRNA and plays a role in the biogenesis and stability of the U6 snRNP and U4/U6 snRNP complexes. It probably also is involved in degradation of nuclear pre-mRNA by targeting them for decapping. LSM2-LSM8 probably is involved in processing of pre-tRNAs, pre-rRNAs and U3 snoRNA. LSM2 is required for processing of pre-tRNAs, pre-rRNAs and U3 snoRNA.
Similarity
Belongs to the snRNP Sm proteins family.

Protein
Sm-like protein LSM8
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
98 amino acids
Function
Component of the nuclear LSM2-LSM8 complex which is involved splicing nuclear mRNAs. LSM2-LSM8 binds directly to the U6 small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). LSM8 is essential for the formation of the nuclear LSM2-LSM8 complex involved in the accurate splicing of selected development-related mRNAs through the stabilization of the spliceosomal U6 snRNA. Plays a critical role in the regulation of development-related gene expression.
