    text
  • distributed throughout the nucleoplasm, where transcription occurs, with additional concentration in nuclear speckles, where splicing factors accumulate when not engaged in splicing
  • basic FUNCTION
  • being necessary for the ATP-dependent first step of spliceosome assembly
  • potentially involved in regulating RNA cellular metabolism
  • may act as transcription repressor
  • SF1 and U2AF2 associate cooperatively with pre-mRNA and play a crucial role in 3 prime splice site recognition during early steps of spliceosome assembly
  • RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity
  • role for SF1 and branch site-like sequences in splice site selection
  • SF1 and U2 auxiliary factor (U2AF2) cooperatively recognize the 3 prime splice site during the initial stages of pre-mRNA splicing
  • represses proinflammatory gene expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) at a global level and thus may also be involved in the attenuation of growth factor-induced phenotype changes in these cells
  • the essential splicing factors U2AF2 and SF1 cooperatively bind consensus sequences at the 3' end of introns

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • acetylated
  • spliceosome complex
  • SF1 and U2AF form extraspliceosomal complexes before and after taking part in the assembly of catalytic spliceosomes
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
  • interacting with U1 snRNA
  • binds to the intron branch point sequence (BPS) 5'-UACUAAC-3' of the pre-mRNA
  • small molecule metal binding,
  • Zn2+
  • protein
  • binding to the RRM3 motif of U2AF65
  • binding to EWSR1
  • binding to FUS
  • binding to TAF15
  • binding to U2AF2
  • direct binding of SF1 to U2AF2 in both the nucleoplasm
  • and nuclear speckles
  • TRAPPC2 interaction with the transcription factors ENO1, PITX1 and SF1
  • antagonizes PDGFB-induced growth and dedifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells
  • PRPF40B interacts directly with SF1 and associates with U2AF2
  • U2AF2 interacts with SF1 and was shown to recruit the U2 snRNP to the spliceosome
  • interacts with SURP domains of U2 snRNP-associated proteins
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    induced by CSF2 (forms ABCDF and B4)
    inhibited by phosphorylation of ser20, interfering with U2AF65 binding and spliceosome assembly
    Phosphorylated by UHMK1, that double-phosphorylates both serines of the SPSP motif
