Differential 3′ splice site recognition of SMN1 and SMN2 transcripts by U2AF and U2 snRNP
25 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Spinal Muscular atrophy is a prevalent genetic disease caused by mutation of the SMN1 gene, which encodes the SMN protein involved in assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) complexes. A paralog of the gene, SMN2, cannot provide adequate levels of functional SMN because exon 7 is skipped in a significant fraction of the mature transcripts. A C to T transition located at position 6 of exon 7 is...
