Essential Role for the Tudor Domain of SMN in Spliceosomal U snRNP Assembly: Implications for Spinal Muscular Atrophy
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease of spinal motor neurons caused by reduced levels of functional survival of motor neurons (SMN) protein. SMN is part of a macromolecular complex that contains the SMN-interacting protein 1 (SIP1) and spliceosomal Sm proteins. Although it is clear that SIP1 as a component of this complex is essential for spliceosomal uridine-rich small ribonucleoprotein...
