Specific Sequences of the Sm and Sm-like (Lsm) Proteins Mediate Their Interaction with the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Disease Gene Product (SMN)
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
The spinal muscular atrophy disease gene product (SMN) is crucial for small nuclear ribonuclear protein (snRNP) biogenesis in the cytoplasm and plays a role in pre-mRNA splicing in the nucleus. SMN oligomers interact avidly with the snRNP core proteins SmB, -D1, and -D3. We have delineated the specific sequences in the Sm proteins that mediate their interaction with SMN. We show that unique carboxyl-terminal...
