This gene encodes subunit 2 of the splicing factor 3b protein complex. Splicing factor 3b, together with splicing factor 3a and a 12S RNA unit, forms the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins complex (U2 snRNP). The splicing factor 3b/3a complex binds pre-mRNA upstream of the intron's branch site in a sequence-independent manner and may anchor the U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA. Splicing factor 3b is also a component of the minor U12-type spliceosome. Subunit 2 associates with pre-mRNA upstream of the branch site at the anchoring site. Subunit 2 also interacts directly with subunit 4 of the splicing factor 3b complex. Subunit 2 is a highly hydrophilic protein with a proline-rich N-terminus and a glutamate-rich stretch in the SLCterminus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
Subunit of the splicing factor SF3B required for 'A' complex assembly formed by the stable binding of U2 snRNP to the branchpoint sequence (BPS) in pre-mRNA. Sequence independent binding of SF3A/SF3B complex upstream of the branch site is essential, it may anchor U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA. May also be involved in the assembly of the 'E' complex. Belongs also to the minor U12-dependent spliceosome, which is involved in the splicing of rare class of nuclear pre-mRNA intron.
Subunit:
Identified in the spliceosome C complex. Component of the U11/U12 snRNPs that are part of the U12-type spliceosome. Component of splicing factor SF3B which is composed of at least eight subunits; SF3B1/SAP155/SF3B155, SF3B2/SAP145/SF3B145, SF3B3/SAP130/SF3B130, SF3B4/SAP49/SF3B49, SF3B14A, PHF5A/SF3B14B, SF3B10 and SF3B125. SF3B associates with the splicing factor SF3A and a 12S RNA unit to form the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins complex (U2 snRNP). SF3B2 interacts directly with SF3B4. Interacts with HISLV1 Vpr
