Dim1 family, Dim1-like protein (DLP) subfamily; DLP is a novel protein which shares 38% sequence identity to Dim1. Like Dim1, it is also implicated in pre-mRNA splicing and cell cycle progression. DLP is located in the nucleus and has been shown to interact with the U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP)-specific 102kD protein (or Prp6). Dim1 protein, also known as U5 snRNP-specific 15kD protein is a component of U5 snRNP, which pre-assembles with U4/U6 snRNPs to form a [U4/U6:U5] tri-snRNP complex required for pre-mRNA splicing. Dim1 adopts a thioredoxin fold but does not contain the redox active CXXC motif.
