Component of the U2 snRNP; required for the first catalytic step of splicing and for spliceosomal assembly; interacts with Rds3p and is required for Mer1p-activated splicing; diploid mutants have a specific defect in MATa1 pre-mRNA splicing which leads to haploid gene expression in diploids [Source:SGD;Acc:S000001444]
SNU17
Chromosome IX: 364,889-365,335 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006942.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 184 orthologues and 2 paralogues.
