Summary
SF3A3 (splicing factor 3a subunit 3, HGNC:10767) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p34.3, encoding Splicing factor 3A subunit 3 (Q12874). Component of the 17S U2 SnRNP complex of the spliceosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex that removes introns from transcribed pre-mRNAs. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.9% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes subunit 3 of the splicing factor 3a protein complex. The splicing factor 3a heterotrimer includes subunits 1, 2 and 3 and is necessary for the in vitro conversion of 15S U2 snRNP into an active 17S particle that performs pre-mRNA splicing. Subunit 3 interacts with subunit 1 through its amino-terminus while the zinc finger domain of subunit 3 plays a role in its binding to the 15S U2 snRNP. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 20. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 5)
- SF3a60, 66, and 120, but not SF1, are essential for pre-mRNA splicing (PMID:15647371)
- SF3a3 functions as a co-repressor of Constitutive Androstane Receptor transcriptional activity, in addition to its canonical function. (PMID:18713018)
- The interaction between CSR1 and SF3A3 led to migration of SF3A3 from nucleus to cytoplasm. The cytoplasmic redistribution of SF3A3 significantly reduced the splicing efficiency of epidermal growth factor receptor and platelet-derived growth factor receptor. (PMID:27148859)
- Oncogenic translation directs spliceosome dynamics revealing an integral role for SF3A3 in breast cancer. (PMID:33662273)
- CircSCAP interacts with SF3A3 to inhibit the malignance of non-small cell lung cancer by activating p53 signaling. (PMID:35365208)

Function. Component of the 17S U2 SnRNP complex of the spliceosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex that removes introns from transcribed pre-mRNAs. The 17S U2 SnRNP complex (1) directly participates in early spliceosome assembly and (2) mediates recognition of the intron branch site during pre-mRNA splicing by promoting the selection of the pre-mRNA branch-site adenosine, the nucleophile for the first step of splicing. Within the 17S U2 SnRNP complex, SF3A3 is part of the SF3A subcomplex that contributes to the assembly of the 17S U2 snRNP, and the subsequent assembly of the pre-spliceosome ‘E’ complex and the pre-catalytic spliceosome ‘A’ complex. Involved in pre-mRNA splicing as a component of pre-catalytic spliceosome ‘B’ complexes.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the 17S U2 SnRNP complex, a ribonucleoprotein complex that contains small nuclear RNA (snRNA) U2 and a number of specific proteins. Part of the SF3A subcomplex of the 17S U2 SnRNP complex which is composed of three subunits; SF3A3/SAP61, SF3A2/SAP62 and SF3A1/SAP114. SF3A associates with the splicing factor SF3B and a 12S RNA unit to form the mature 17S U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complex (17S U2 snRNP). Identified in the spliceosome ‘E’ complex, a precursor of the spliceosome ‘A’ complex. Identified in the spliceosome ‘A’ and ‘B’ complexes. Identified in the spliceosome ‘C’ complex.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 183 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
