Gemin5, a Novel WD Repeat Protein Component of the SMN Complex That Binds Sm Proteins
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
The survival of motor neurons (SMN) protein is the product of the disease gene of spinal muscular atrophy and is found both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus, where it is concentrated in gems. SMN is part of a multi-protein complex that includes Gemin2, Gemin3, and Gemin4. The SMN complex plays an important role in the cytoplasmic assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and likely other RNPs in...
