Sm and Sm-like (LSm) proteins form donut-shaped heptameric complexes that are involved in various steps of RNA metabolism. LSm proteins facilitate RNA protein interactions and structural changes that are required during ribosomal subunit assembly. LSm proteins contain a Sm sequence motif which has two regions separated by a linker of variable length that forms a loop. LSm5, also known as YER146W, is a 91 amino acid protein belonging to the snRNP Sm family. Localized to the nucleus, LSm5 has been found to play a role in the formation and function of the U6 snRNP. Specifically, LSm5 binds to the 3’ end of U6 snRNA and facilitates U4/U6 duplex formation.
