Pre-mRNA-processing ATP-dependent RNA helicase PRP5; RNA helicase in the DEAD-box family; necessary for prespliceosome formation, bridges U1 and U2 snRNPs and enables stable U2 snRNP association with intron RNA; Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX46/PRP5 subfamily.

Pre-mRNA-splicing factor PRP11; Subunit of the SF3a splicing factor complex; required for spliceosome assembly.

56 kDa U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein component; Component of U1 snRNP required for mRNA splicing via spliceosome; yeast specific, no metazoan counterpart; interacts with mRNA in commitment complex.

Pre-mRNA-processing factor 17; Pre-mRNA splicing factor; important for catalytic step II of pre-mRNA splicing and plays a role in cell cycle progression, particularly at the G1/S phase transition; required for DNA synthesis during mitosis and meiosis; has WD repeats; thermosensitivity of the cdc40 null mutant is functionally complemented by a chimeric construct containing the N-terminal 156 amino acids of yeast Cdc40p fused to the C-terminal two thirds (297 amino acids) of human CDC40.

Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein-associated protein B; Core Sm protein Sm B; part of heteroheptameric complex (with Smd1p, Smd2p, Smd3p, Sme1p, Smx3p, and Smx2p) that is part of the spliceosomal U1, U2, U4, and U5 snRNPs; homolog of human Sm B and Sm B'; Belongs to the snRNP SmB/SmN family.

Pre-mRNA-splicing helicase BRR2; RNA-dependent ATPase RNA helicase (DEIH box); required for disruption of U4/U6 base-pairing in native snRNPs to activate the spliceosome for catalysis; homologous to human U5-200kD.

Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein G; Core Sm protein Sm G; part of heteroheptameric complex (with Smb1p, Smd1p, Smd2p, Smd3p, Sme1p, and Smx3p) that is part of the spliceosomal U1, U2, U4, and U5 snRNPs; homolog of human Sm G.

Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein Sm D1; Core Sm protein Sm D1; part of heteroheptameric complex (with Smb1p, Smd2p, Smd3p, Sme1p, Smx3p, and Smx2p) that is part of the spliceosomal U1, U2, U4, and U5 snRNPs; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia; homolog of human Sm D1; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.

RNA binding protein, component of the U1 snRNP protein; mutants are defective in meiotic recombination and in formation of viable spores, involved in the formation of DSBs through meiosis-specific splicing of REC107 pre-mRNA; Nam8p regulon embraces the meiotic pre-mRNAs of REC107, HFM1, AMA1 SPO22 and PCH2; the putative RNA binding domains RRM2 and RRM3 are required for Nam8p meiotic function.
