Domain II of the spliceosomal 116kD U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) component
This subfamily includes domain II of the spliceosomal human 116kD U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) protein (U5-116 kD) and its yeast counterpart Snu114p. This domain is homologous to domain II of the eukaryotic translational elongation factor EF-2. U5-116 kD is a GTPase which is a component of the spliceosome complex which processes precursor mRNAs to produce mature mRNAs.
