Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Component of the 17S U2 SnRNP complex of the spliceosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex that removes introns from transcribed pre-mRNAs (PubMed:12234937, PubMed:27720643, PubMed:32494006, PubMed:34822310). The 17S U2 SnRNP complex (1) directly participates in early spliceosome assembly and (2) mediates recognition of the intron branch site during pre-mRNA splicing by promoting the selection of the pre-mRNA branch-site adenosine, the nucleophile for the first step of splicing (PubMed:12234937, PubMed:32494006, PubMed:34822310). Within the 17S U2 SnRNP complex, SF3B6 is part of the SF3B subcomplex, which is required for 'A' complex assembly formed by the stable binding of U2 snRNP to the branchpoint sequence in pre-mRNA (PubMed:12234937, PubMed:27720643). Sequence independent binding of SF3A and SF3B subcomplexes upstream of the branch site is essential, it may anchor U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA (PubMed:12234937). Within the 17S U2 SnRNP complex, SF3B6 directly contacts the pre-mRNA branch site adenosine for the first catalytic step of splicing (PubMed:16432215). SF3B6 stabilizes the intron branch site-U2 snRNA duplex, thereby promoting-binding of introns with poor sequence complementarity (PubMed:34822310). Also acts as a component of the minor spliceosome, which is involved in the splicing of U12-type introns in pre-mRNAs (PubMed:15146077, PubMed:33509932).SUBUNIT Component of the 17S U2 SnRNP complex, a ribonucleoprotein complex that contains small nuclear RNA (snRNA) U2 and a number of specific proteins (PubMed:12234937, PubMed:15146077, PubMed:32494006, PubMed:34822310). Part of the SF3B subcomplex of the 17S U2 SnRNP complex (PubMed:12234937, PubMed:12738865, PubMed:16432215, PubMed:27720643, PubMed:28541300). SF3B associates with the splicing subcomplex SF3A and a 12S RNA unit to form the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins complex (U2 snRNP) (PubMed:12234937). Within the SF3B complex interacts directly with SF3B1 (PubMed:16432215, PubMed:21062891, Ref.20). Component of the minor spliceosome, which splices U12-type introns (PubMed:15146077, PubMed:33509932).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Belongs to the SF3B6 family.
