Abstract excerpt
Muscleblind-like 1 (MBNL1) regulates alternative splicing and is a key player in the disease mechanism of myotonic dystrophy (DM). In DM, MBNL1 becomes sequestered to expanded CUG/CCUG repeat RNAs resulting in splicing defects, which lead to disease symptoms. In order to understand MBNL1's role in both the disease mechanism of DM and alternative splicing regulation, we sought to identify its RNA-binding motif. A...
