SRSF9
Function
Plays a role in constitutive splicing and can modulate the selection of alternative splice sites. Represses the splicing of MAPT/Tau exon 10.
Post-translational modifications
Extensively phosphorylated on serine residues in the RS domain.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the splicing factor SR family.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed at high levels in the heart, kidney, pancreas and placenta, and at lower levels in the brain, liver, lung and skeletal muscle.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
- Cellular stresses such as heat shock may induce localization to discrete nuclear bodies termed SAM68 nuclear bodies (SNBs), HAP bodies, or stress bodies. Numerous splicing factors including SRSF1/SFRS1/SF2, SRSF7/SFRS7, SAFB and KHDRBS1/SAM68 accumulate at these structures, which may participate in the post-transcriptional regulation of mRNAs in stressed cells.
Alternative names
SFRS9, SRP30C, SRSF9, Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 9, Pre-mRNA-splicing factor SRp30C
