The RNA-Binding Properties of SMN: Deletion Analysis of the Zebrafish Orthologue Defines Domains Conserved in Evolution
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common autosomal recessive disorder that results in the degeneration of spinal motor neurons. SMA is caused by alterations of the survival motor neuron ( SMN ) gene which encodes a novel protein of hitherto unclear function. The SMN protein associates with ribonucleoprotein particles involved in RNA processing and exhibits an RNA-binding capacity. We have isolated the zebrafish...
