Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 3

UniProtKB accession:  P84103

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Splicing factor, which binds the consensus motif 5'-C[ACU][AU]C[ACU][AC]C-3' within pre-mRNA and promotes specific exons inclusion during alternative splicing (PubMed:32440474, PubMed:17036044, PubMed:26876937). Interaction with YTHDC1, a RNA-binding protein that recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing RNAs, promotes recruitment of SRSF3 to its mRNA-binding elements adjacent to m6A sites within exons (PubMed:26876937). Also functions as an adapter involved in mRNA nuclear export (PubMed:11336712, PubMed:18364396, PubMed:28984244). Binds mRNA which is thought to be transferred to the NXF1-NXT1 heterodimer for export (TAP/NXF1 pathway); enhances NXF1-NXT1 RNA-binding activity (PubMed:11336712, PubMed:18364396). Involved in nuclear export of m6A-containing mRNAs via interaction with YTHDC1: interaction with YTHDC1 facilitates m6A-containing mRNA-binding to both SRSF3 and NXF1, promoting mRNA nuclear export (PubMed:28984244).
