Biological function summary
This protein facilitates the organization and biogenesis of nuclear bodies associated with RNA processing and small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) assembly. Coilin operates as part of a larger complex involving several other proteins that interact within Cajal bodies. These nuclear bodies serve as sites where components necessary for RNA processing are concentrated. Coilin aids in the trafficking and modification of snRNP elements which are essential for pre-mRNA splicing.
Pathways
Coilin affects RNA metabolism and processing notably within the spliceosome assembly pathway and in snRNP biogenesis. The pathways include interactions with proteins such as SMN (Survival of Motor Neuron) protein which links to spinal muscular atrophy-related processes. Additionally Coilin contributes to the broader framework of nucleic acid processing systems impacting the outcome of RNA transcription and modification through its regulatory roles.
