    text
  • DNA- and RNA-binding protein primarily localized to nuclear speckles
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in pre-mRNA splicing
  • repressing hepatitis B virus (hbv) core promoter activity and transcription of hbv genes
  • and production of hbv virions
  • spliceosome-associated factor required for mitotic progression
  • has a novel role in maintaining proper nuclear organization of pre-mRNA processing factors in nuclear speckles
  • essential for appropriate subnuclear organization of pre-mRNA splicing factors and for promoting normal cell cycle progression
  • large Ser/Arg (SR)-related protein, is a splicing cofactor contributing to efficient splicing of cell-cycle regulators
  • facilitates the interaction of Ser/Arg proteins with RNA polymerase II and other key spliceosome components, suggesting its function in efficient cotranscriptional RNA processing
  • plays a critical role in the proliferation, survival, and tumorigenicity of pancreatic cancer cells
  • SON-mediated splicing is required for proper processing of selective transcripts related to cell cycle, microtubules, centrosome maintenance, and genome stability
  • is an emerging player in gene regulation during cancer development and progression
  • RNA splicing factor, controls MLL complex-mediated transcriptional initiation
  • influence cell-cycle progression, genomic integrity, and maintenance of pluripotency in stem cell populations
  • is a master regulator governing neurodevelopment and demonstrate the importance of SON-mediated RNA splicing in human development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, chromatin organization, remodeling

    a component
  • component of spliceosome that plays pleiotropic roles during mitotic progression
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • regulates the proper splicing of transcripts encoding for pluripotency regulators such as POU5F1, PRDM14, E4F1 and MED24
  • binds to DNA near transcription start sites, interacts with menin, and inhibits MLL complex assembly, resulting in decreased H3K4me3 and transcriptional repression ( :
