A novel association of the SMN protein with two major non-ribosomal nucleolar proteins and its implication in spinal muscular atrophy
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by the loss of functional survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) protein. This ubiquitously expressed protein is a component of a novel complex immunodetected in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, which is associated with complexes involved in mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis and transcription. Here, we study a mutant protein corresponding to the N-terminal half of the protein...
