LSm
LSm (Like-Sm) proteins are RNA-binding proteins with the Sm fold, present in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes; eukaryotic LSm1-7 and LSm2-8 heteroheptameric rings handle mRNA decay and U6 snRNA splicing, while bacterial Hfq and archaeal SmAPs form homo-oligomeric rings.
Sm and LSm protein families
The Sm and LSm protein families, also called Sm and Sm-like proteins, are RNA-binding protein families that form seven-membered rings central to RNA splicing and decay.
Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein G
SNRPG (Sm-G, small nuclear ribonucleoprotein G) is a human 2p13.3 gene encoding an 8.5 kDa Sm core protein of the U1, U2, U4, and U5 snRNPs and the minor U12 spliceosome, assembled by the SMN complex, with reported roles in cancer.
