pfam16275: SF1-HH (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Splicing factor 1 helix-hairpin domain
This domain, approximately 100 residues in length, is mainly found in splicing factor 1 from yeast to human. It is a helix-hairpin domain, which forms a secondary, hydrophobic interface with U2AF65(UHM) to lock the orientation of the two subunits, which is essential for cooperative formation of the ternary SF1-U2AF65-RNA complex. In this domain, it contains a highly conserved SPSP motif in its C terminal and phophorylation of SPSP motif induces a disorder-to-order transition within a novel SF1/U2AF65 interface, indicating a phosphorylation-dependent control of pre-mRNA splicing factors.
