FUNCTION: Mediates the splicing of pre-mRNA by binding to the loop I region of U1-snRNA. The truncated isoforms cannot bind U1-snRNA.
SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Found in a pre-mRNA splicing complex with SFRS4, SFRS5, SNRNP70, SNRPA1, SRRM1 and SRRM2. Found in a pre-mRNA exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) complex with SNRNP70, SNRPA1, SRRM1 and TRA2B/SFRS10. Interacts with dephosphorylated FUSIP1 and SFPQ. Interacts with NUDT21/CPSF5, CPSF6, SFRS2IP, and ZRANB2.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION: The N-terminus is blocked.
Extensively phosphorylated on serine residues in the C-terminal region.
INVOLVEMENT IN DISEASE: Major ribonucleoprotein antigen recognized by the sera from patients with autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Contains 1 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain.
