[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LSM6_YEAST LSM6_YEAST]] Component of LSm protein complexes, which are involved in RNA processing and may function in a chaperone-like manner, facilitating the efficient association of RNA processing factors with their substrates. Component of the cytoplasmic LSM1-LSM7 complex, which is thought to be involved in mRNA degradation by activating the decapping step in the 5'-to-3' mRNA decay pathway. In association with PAT1, LSM1-LSM7 binds directly to RNAs near the 3'-end and prefers oligoadenylated RNAs over polyadenylated RNAs. Component of the nuclear LSM2-LSM8 complex, which is involved in splicing of nuclear mRNAs. LSM2-LSM8 associates with multiple snRNP complexes containing the U6 snRNA (U4/U6 di-snRNP, spliceosomal U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP, and free U6 snRNP). It binds directly to the 3'-terminal U-tract of U6 snRNA and plays a role in the biogenesis and stability of the U6 snRNP and U4/U6 snRNP complexes. LSM2-LSM8 probably also is involved degradation of nuclear pre-mRNA by targeting them for decapping, and in processing of pre-tRNAs, pre-rRNAs and U3 snoRNA. Component of a nucleolar LSM2-LSM7 complex, which associates with the precursor of the RNA component of RNase P (pre-P RNA) and with the small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) snR5. It may play a role in the maturation of a subset of nucleolus-associated small RNAs.<ref>PMID:10747033</ref> <ref>PMID:10761922</ref> <ref>PMID:15485930</ref> <ref>PMID:17513695</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LSM3_YEAST LSM3_YEAST]] Component of LSm protein complexes, which are involved in RNA processing and may function in a chaperone-like manner.

The spliceosome removes introns from precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) to produce mature mRNA. Prior to catalysis, spliceosomes are assembled de novo onto pre-mRNA substrates. During this assembly process, U6 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) undergoes extensive structural remodeling. The early stages of this remodeling process are chaperoned by U6 snRNP proteins Prp24 and the Lsm2-8 heteroheptameric ring. We now report a structure of the U6 snRNP from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The structure reveals protein-protein contacts that position Lsm2-8 in close proximity to the chaperone "active site" of Prp24. The structure also shows how the Lsm2-8 ring specifically recognizes U6 snRNA that has been post-transcriptionally modified at its 3' end, thereby elucidating the mechanism by which U6 snRNPs selectively recruit 3' end-processed U6 snRNA into spliceosomes. Additionally, the structure reveals unanticipated homology between the C-terminal regions of Lsm8 and the cytoplasmic Lsm1 protein involved in mRNA decay.
