To facilitate snRNP assembly, the SMN complex must bring together the Sm proteins and a Sm-site-containing snRNA. The SMN:Sm protein complex binds to the m7G capped snRNAs in the cytoplasm.
SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural protein 16 (nsp16) binds to the 5′ splice site recognition sequence of U1 snRNA and the branchpoint recognition site of U2 snRNA, both parts of the spliceosome, disrupting global mRNA splicing (Banerjee et al, 2020).
