ID:SF3B4_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Splicing factor 3B subunit 4; AltName: Full=Pre-mRNA-splicing factor SF3b 49 kDa subunit; AltName: Full=SF3b50; AltName: Full=Spliceosome-associated protein 49; Short=SAP 49; 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. SF3B4 has been found in complex 'B' and 'C' as well. Belongs also to the minor U12- dependent spliceosome, which is involved in the splicing of rare class of nuclear pre-mRNA intron. SUBUNIT: 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). Component of the U11/U12 snRNPs that are part of the U12-type spliceosome. SF3B4 interacts directly with SF3B2. INTERACTION: P62993:GRB2; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-348469, EBI-401755; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in SF3B4 are the cause of acrofacial dysostosis type 1 (AFD1) [MIM:154400]. AFD1 is a form of acrofacial dysostosis, a group of disorders which are characterized by malformation of the craniofacial skeleton and the limbs. The major facial features of AFD1 include downslanted palpebral fissures, midface retrusion, and micrognathia, the latter of which often requires the placement of a tracheostomy in early childhood. Limb defects typically involve the anterior (radial) elements of the upper limbs and manifest as small or absent thumbs, triphalangeal thumbs, radial hyoplasia or aplasia, and radioulnar synostosis. Phocomelia of the upper limbs and, occasionally, lower-limb defects have also been reported. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SF3B4 family. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
