Function

Plays a role as an alternative splicing regulator. Regulate its own expression at the level of RNA processing. Also regulates the splicing of fibronectin and CD45 genes. May act, at least in part, by interaction with other R/S-containing splicing factors. Represses the splicing of MAPT/Tau exon 10.

Activity summary

SFRS8 also known as SR protein splicing factor 8 or SFRS8 is a serine/arginine-rich splicing factor involved in the regulation of alternative splicing in pre-mRNA. The protein is approximately 81 kDa and is expressed in various tissues including the brain heart and skeletal muscle. SFRS8 functions as a splicing regulator modulating the assembly of spliceosomes through its interaction with other splicing factors and components of the messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes.

Biological function summary

SFRS8 plays key roles in the regulation of alternative splicing influencing the diversity of protein isoforms that cells can produce. It is often part of larger spliceosome complexes functioning with other serine/arginine-rich proteins to ensure accurate and efficient splicing of introns from pre-mRNAs. This regulatory capability is important for maintaining gene expression and cellular functions particularly in tissues with preferential expression like the nervous and muscular systems.

Pathways

SFRS8 integrates within the spliceosomal and mRNA processing pathways. It coordinates actions with other serine/arginine-rich splicing factors like SRSF1 and SRSF9 which participate in the splicing enhancer complexes. These pathways are essential in post-transcriptional regulation where SFRS8 helps ensure proper exon inclusion or skipping. This regulation is especially significant in pathways leading to protein diversification and cellular differentiation processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

SFRS8 impacts several disorders including cancer and spinal muscular atrophy. Aberrations in SFRS8 expression or function can lead to defective splicing and subsequent production of abnormal protein isoforms. In cancer altered SFRS8 activity can affect cell proliferation and survival through interactions with other factors like hnRNP proteins. Similarly in spinal muscular atrophy improper splicing can disrupt the function of SMN proteins closely tied to motor neuron degeneration.
