Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common motor neuron disease that results from mutations in the Survival of Motor Neuron (SMN) gene. The SMN protein plays a crucial role in the assembly of spliceosomal uridine-rich small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U snRNP) complexes via binding to the spliceosomal Sm core proteins. SMN contains a central Tudor domain that facilitates the SMN-Sm protein interaction. A...
