PRP19/PSO4 pre-mRNA processing factor 19 homolog (S. cerevisiae); Plays a role in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. Binds double-stranded DNA in a sequence-nonspecific manner. Acts as a structural component of the nuclear framework. May also serve as a support for spliceosome binding and activity. Essential for spliceosome assembly in a oligomerization-dependent manner and might also be important for spliceosome stability. May have E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. The PSO4 complex is required in the DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) repair process. Component of the PRP19-CDC5L comple [...] (504 aa)

neuroblastoma amplified sequence (2371 aa)

CDC5 cell division cycle 5-like (S. pombe); DNA-binding protein involved in cell cycle control. May act as a transcription activator. Component of the PRP19-CDC5L complex that forms an integral part of the spliceosome and is required for activating pre-mRNA splicing (802 aa)

SLU7 splicing factor homolog (S. cerevisiae); Participates in the second catalytic step of pre-mRNA splicing, when the free hydroxyl group of exon I attacks the 3’- splice site to generate spliced mRNA and the excised lariat intron. Required for holding exon 1 properly in the spliceosome and for correct AG identification when more than one possible AG exists in 3’-splicing site region. May be involved in the activation of proximal AG. Probably also involved in alternative splicing regulation (586 aa)

UPF3 regulator of nonsense transcripts homolog A (yeast); Involved in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons by associating with the nuclear exon junction complex (EJC) and serving as link between the EJC core and NMD machinery. Recruits UPF2 at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear envelope and the subsequent formation of an UPF1-UPF2- UPF3 surveillance complex (including UPF1 bound to release factors at the stalled ribosome) is believed to activate NMD. However, UPF3A is shown to be only marginally active in NMD as compared to UPF3B. Binds spliced mRNA [...] (476 aa)

PRP18 pre-mRNA processing factor 18 homolog (S. cerevisiae); Participates in the second step of pre-mRNA splicing (342 aa)

UPF1 regulator of nonsense transcripts homolog (yeast); RNA-dependent helicase and ATPase required for nonsense- mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons. Is recruited to mRNAs upon translation termination and undergoes a cycle of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation; its phosphorylation appears to be a key step in NMD. Recruited by release factors to stalled ribosomes together with the SMG1C protein kinase complex to form the transient SURF (SMG1-UPF1-eRF1- eRF3) complex. In EJC-dependent NMD, the SURF complex associates with the exon junction complex (EJC) (loc [...] (1118 aa)

tRNA methyltransferase 2 homolog A (S. cerevisiae); May be involved in nucleic acid metabolism and/or modifications (625 aa)
