Abstract excerpt
Proteolipid protein (PLP) and DM20 are generated by alternative splicing of exon 3B of PLP1 transcript in differentiating oligodendrocytes. We investigated the role of exonic splicing enhancers (ESE) in the selection of PLP 5' donor site, focusing on putative ASF/SF2, and SC35 binding motifs in exon 3B on the basis of mutations that cause disease in humans. Mutations in a putative ASF/SF2 binding motif...
