Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic assembly of Sm-class small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) is a central process in eukaryotic gene expression. A large macromolecular complex containing the survival of motor neurons (SMN) protein is required for proper snRNP assembly in vivo. Defects in SMN function lead to a human neuromuscular disorder, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). SMN protein localizes to both nuclear and cytoplasmic...
