UAF-1 plays a crucial role in pre-mRNA splicing. It binds to the polypyrimidine tract within introns during the early stages of spliceosome assembly, facilitating the splicing process.

WDR-20 and WDR-48, in conjunction with USP-46, form a complex that deubiquitinates and stabilizes GLR-1 in vivo. PMID: 24356955
The interaction of TEG-1 CD2BP2 with UAF-1 U2AF65, alongside its previously established function in U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP, suggests that TEG-1 CD2BP2 participates in distinct locations within the splicing cascade. PMID: 22275078
Mutations within the U2AF large subunit, a splicing factor, have been observed to alter the splicing of tos-1. 3' splice sites. PMID: 22033331
Research findings provide in vivo evidence that UAF-1 can regulate 3' splice-site selection. This establishes a system for investigating the in vivo regulation of RNA splicing in C. elegans. PMID: 19893607
