LSM domain; The LSM domain contains Sm proteins as well as other related LSM (Like Sm) proteins. The U1, U2, U4/U6, and U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) involved in pre-mRNA splicing contain seven Sm proteins (B/B', D1, D2, D3, E, F and G) in common, which assemble around the Sm site present in four of the major spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs. The U6 snRNP binds to the LSM (Like Sm) proteins. Sm proteins are also found in archaebacteria, which do not have any splicing apparatus suggesting a more general role for Sm proteins. All Sm proteins contain a common sequence motif in two segments, Sm1 and Sm2, separated by a short variable linker. This family also includes the bacterial Hfq (host factor Q) proteins. Hfq are also RNA-binding proteins, that form hexameric rings.

Sm protein G; The eukaryotic Sm proteins (B/B', D1, D2, D3, E, F and G) assemble into a hetero-heptameric ring around the Sm site of the 2,2,7-trimethyl guanosine (m3G) capped U1, U2, U4 and U5 snRNAs (Sm snRNAs) forming the core of the snRNP particle. The snRNP particle, in turn, assembles with other components onto the pre-mRNA to form the spliceosome which is responsible for the excision of introns and the ligation of exons. Members of this family share a highly conserved Sm fold containing an N-terminal helix followed by a strongly bent five-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet. Sm subunit G binds subunits E and F to form a trimer which then assembles onto snRNA along with the D1/D2 and D3/B heterodimers forming a seven-membered ring structure.

LSM domain containing 1; The eukaryotic Sm and Sm-like (LSm) proteins associate with RNA to form the core domain of the ribonucleoprotein particles involved in a variety of RNA processing events including pre-mRNA splicing, telomere replication, and mRNA degradation. Members of this family share a highly conserved Sm fold containing an N-terminal helix followed by a strongly bent five-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet. LSMD1 proteins have a single Sm-like domain structure. Sm-like proteins exist in archaea as well as prokaryotes, forming heptameric and hexameric ring structures similar to those found in eukaryotes.

Like-Sm protein 1; The eukaryotic LSm proteins (LSm1-7) assemble into a hetero-heptameric ring around the 3'-terminus of the gamma-methyl triphosphate (gamma-m-P3) capped U6 snRNA. Accumulation of uridylated RNAs in an lsm1 mutant suggests an involvement of the LSm1-7 complex in recognition of the 3' uridylation tag and recruitment of the decapping machinery. LSm1-7, together with Pat1, are also called the decapping activator. Members of this family share a highly conserved Sm fold containing an N-terminal helix followed by a strongly bent five-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet.
