== Function ==
[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RU2B_HUMAN RU2B_HUMAN]] Involved in pre-mRNA splicing. This protein is associated with snRNP U2. It binds stem loop IV of U2 snRNA only in presence of the U2A' protein. [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RU2A_HUMAN RU2A_HUMAN]] This protein is associated with sn-RNP U2. It helps the A' protein to bind stem loop IV of U2 snRNA.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
We have determined the crystal structure at 2.4 A resolution of a ternary complex between the spliceosomal U2B"/U2A' protein complex and hairpin-loop IV of U2 small nuclear RNA. Unlike its close homologue the U1A protein, U2B" binds to its cognate RNA only in the presence of U2A', which contains leucine-rich repeats in its sequence. The concave surface of a parallel beta-sheet within the leucine-rich-repeat region of U2A' interacts with the ribonucleoprotein domain of U2B" on the surface opposite its RNA-binding surface. The basic carboxy-terminal region of U2A' interacts with the RNA stem. The crystal structure reveals how protein-protein interaction regulates RNA-binding specificity, and how replacing only a few key residues allows the U2B" and U1A proteins to discriminate between their cognate RNA hairpins by forming alternative networks of interactions.
