Short Name | SKI-int_prot_SKIP |
description | SKIP (SKI-interacting protein) is an essential spliceosomal component and transcriptional coregulator, which may provide regulatory coupling of transcription initiation and splicing []. SKIP was identified in a yeast 2-hybrid screen, where it was shown to interact with both the cellular and viral forms of SKI through the highly conserved region on SKIP knownas the SNW domain []. SKIP is now known to interact with a number of other proteins as well. SKIP potentiates the activity of important transcription factors, such as vitamin D receptor, CBF1 (RBP-Jkappa), Smad2/3, and MyoD. It works with Ski in overcoming pRb-mediated cell cycle arrest, and it is targeted by the viral transactivators EBNA2 and E7 []. |
