Protein Domain : mRNA splicing factor Cwf21 domain IPR013170

Type	Domain
Description	The cwf21 domain is found in proteins involved in mRNA splicing. Proteins containing this domain have been isolated as a subcomplex of the splicosome in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Fission yeast) [ ]. In yeast, this domain binds the protein Prp8p [], a large and highly conserved U5 snRNP protein which has been proposed as a protein cofactor at the spliceosomal catalytic centre [].The cwf21 domain is found in, amongst others, the small Cwc21p protein in yeast as well as in the much larger human ortholog SRm300 (serine/arginine repetitive matrix protein).
