This entry includes Pre-mRNA-splicing factor BUD31, also known as G10 protein, and its homologues. BUD31 is involved in the pre-mRNA splicing process [1-3] and it is highly conserved in a wide range of eukaryotic species. Human BUD31 may play a role as a regulator of androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional activity, probably increasing the AR transcriptional activity [4].
Cyclophilin type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase/CLD
The peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases, also known as cyclophilins, share this domain of about 109 amino acids. Cyclophilins have been found in all organisms studied so far and catalyse peptidyl-prolyl isomerisation during which the peptide bond pr ...
The peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases, also known as cyclophilins, share this domain of about 109 amino acids. Cyclophilins have been found in all organisms studied so far and catalyse peptidyl-prolyl isomerisation during which the peptide bond preceding proline (the peptidyl-prolyl bond) is stabilised in the cis conformation. Mammalian cyclophilin A (CypA) is a major cellular target for the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA). Other roles for cyclophilins may include chaperone and cell signalling function [1].
N-terminal domain of CBF1 interacting co-repressor CIR
This is a 45 residue conserved region at the N-terminal end of a family of proteins referred to as CIRs (CBF1-interacting co-repressors). CBF1 (centromere-binding factor 1) acts as a transcription factor that causes repression by binding specifically ...
This is a 45 residue conserved region at the N-terminal end of a family of proteins referred to as CIRs (CBF1-interacting co-repressors). CBF1 (centromere-binding factor 1) acts as a transcription factor that causes repression by binding specifically to GTGGGAA motifs in responsive promoters, and it requires CIR as a co-repressor. CIR binds to histone deacetylase and to SAP30 and serves as a linker between CBF1 and the histone deacetylase complex [1].
The human FRG1 gene maps to human chromosome 4q35 and has been identified as a candidate for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. Currently, the function of FRG1 is unknown [1].

The essential spliceosomal protein Prp8 interacts with U5 and U6 snRNAs and with specific pre-mRNA sequences that participate in catalysis [1]. This close association with crucial RNA sequences, together with extensive genetic evidence, suggests that Prp8 could directly affect the function of the catalytic core, perhaps acting as a splicing cofactor [2].

The large RNA-protein complex of the spliceosome catalyses pre-mRNA splicing. One of the most conserved core proteins is PrP8 which occupies a central position in the catalytic core of the spliceosome, and has been implicated in several crucial molecular rearrangements that occur there, and has recently come under the spotlight for its role in the inherited human disease, Retinitis Pigmentosa [1]. The RNA-recognition motif of PrP8 is highly conserved and provides a possible RNA binding centre for the 5-prime SS, BP, or 3-prime SS of pre-mRNA which are known to contact with Prp8. The most conserved regions of an RRM are defined as the RNP1 and RNP2 sequences. Recognition of RNA targets can also be modulated by a number of other factors, most notably the two loops beta1-alpha1, beta2-beta3 and the amino acid residues C-terminal to the RNP2 domain [2].
This domain incorporates the interacting site for the U6-snRNA as part of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNPs complex of the spliceosome, and is the prime candidate for the role of cofactor for the spliceosome's RNA core. The essential spliceosomal protein Prp8 ...

The PRO8NT domain is found at the N-terminus of pre-mRNA splicing factors of PRO8 family [1]. The NLS or nuclear localisation signal for these spliceosome proteins begins at the start and runs for 60 residues. N-terminal to this domain is a highly variable proline-rich region [4].
This domain includes the carboxyl terminal regions of Elongation factor G, elongation factor 2 and some tetracycline resistance proteins and adopt a ferredoxin-like fold.
This domain contains a P-loop motif, also found in several other families such as Pfam:PF00071, Pfam:PF00025 and Pfam:PF00063. Elongation factor Tu consists of three structural domains, this plus two C-terminal beta barrel domains.

Elongation factor Tu consists of three structural domains, this is the second domain. This domain adopts a beta barrel structure. This the second domain is involved in binding to charged tRNA [1]. This domain is also found in other proteins such as elongation factor G and translation initiation factor IF-2. This domain is structurally related to Pfam:PF03143, and in fact has weak sequence matches to this domain.
This domain is found in elongation factor G, elongation factor 2 and some tetracycline resistance proteins and adopts a ribosomal protein S5 domain 2-like fold.
