AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Component of the osk mRNP (PubMed:20570937). Interacts with stau and yps (PubMed:20570937). Interacts with csul (via the N-terminal region) (PubMed:17164419). Interacts with vls (PubMed:17164419). Interacts (methylated) with tud (PubMed:17164419). Interacts with Smn; this interaction may be favored by SmB methylation (PubMed:16753561). Interacts with the SMN complex (PubMed:18621711). Interacts with msk and Snup; these interactions are RNA-dependent (PubMed:23885126).
Symmetrically dimethylated on arginine residues present in the RG repeats by csul (or csul-vls complex) and Art7; methylation is not required for assembly and biogenesis of snRNPs, but required for pole plasm localization. There seems to be a specific role of two subsets of arginine residues in the C-terminal region: the subset containing Arg-112, Arg-130 and Arg-145 is required during embryogenesis for gonad formation, whereas the subset containing Arg-174, Arg-181, Arg-189 and Arg-196 is involved in pole cell formation by controlling polar granule maintenance at the posterior pole of the oocyte.

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene results in a long metaphase spindle with misaligned chromosomes when assayed in S2 cells. This phenotype can be observed when the screen is performed with or without Cdc27 dsRNA.
1 allele of l(2)SH0509 recovered in a P-insertion screen.
SmB nucleotide sequence is highly conserved with that for the murine and human SmB polypeptides.
Encodes a protein with 65% identity (80% similarity) to human and murine SmB polypeptides. Like these mammalian proteins is precipitated by human anti-Sm autoantibodies and by the Y12 anti-Sm murine monoclonal antibody.
