## Summary

**CWC15** (CWC15 spliceosome associated protein, HGNC:26939) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q21, encoding **Spliceosome-associated protein CWC15 homolog** (Q9P013). Involved in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the spliceosome. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 51.4% of cell lines).

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Located in nuclear speck. Part of U2-type catalytic step 2 spliceosome.

### Functional genomics

**gnomAD constraint:** pLI 0.757, LOEUF 0.658, missense Z 1.41 — population loss-of-function intolerance (pLI ≥ 0.9 = LoF-intolerant; lower LOEUF = more constrained). [gnomAD](https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/)

#### Regional missense constraint (gnomAD)

`ENST00000279839` splits into 2 regions with different missense tolerance; **1 is missense-constrained** (≈8% of the expected missense variation). Missense variants in a constrained region (low observed/expected) are more likely to be pathogenic. [gnomAD](https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/)

### Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 1)

- The results show that CTNNBL1 enhances the association of CWC15 and CDC5L, both core Prp19 complex proteins and identify an overlap in the region of CDC5L that binds either CTNNBL1 or CWC15 suggesting the two proteins might exchange places in the complex. (PMID:26130721)

Sequence homologs in species beyond Ensembl Compara's model organisms, by Diamond local protein alignment (% sequence identity; best hit per species). Lower-identity rows are more distant homologs. The matched accessions' gene symbols aren't in biobtree yet, so each row shows the UniProt accession.

**All UniProt accessions (1):** `Q9P013`

#### UniProt curated annotations — [full annotation on UniProt →](https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/Q9P013/entry)

**Function.** Involved in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the spliceosome. Component of the PRP19-CDC5L complex that forms an integral part of the spliceosome and is required for activating pre-mRNA splicing. As a component of the minor spliceosome, involved in the splicing of U12-type introns in pre-mRNAs.

**Subunit / interactions.** Identified in the spliceosome C complex. Component of the PRP19-CDC5L splicing complex composed of a core complex comprising a homotetramer of PRPF19, CDC5L, PLRG1 and BCAS2, and at least three less stably associated proteins CTNNBL1, CWC15 and HSPA8. Interacts directly with CTNNBL1 in the complex. Component of the minor spliceosome, which splices U12-type introns.

**Subcellular location.** Nucleus.

**Similarity.** Belongs to the CWC15 family.
