Abstract excerpt
The survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein forms a multiprotein complex (SMN complex) with Gemin proteins. The complex is known to play a crucial role in RNA metabolism. Several lines of evidence show that SMN is phosphorylated at serine and/or threonine residues. In this study, we hypothesized that SMN is phosphorylated at two kinds of serine residues, the Q28SDD31SD site and two SQ sites (80SQ and 163SQ). A...
