Autoregulated Splicing of muscleblind-like 1 (MBNL1) Pre-mRNA
10 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Muscleblind-like 1 (MBNL1) is a splicing factor whose improper cellular localization is a central component of myotonic dystrophy. In myotonic dystrophy, the lack of properly localized MBNL1 leads to missplicing of many pre-mRNAs. One of these events is the aberrant inclusion of exon 5 within the MBNL1 pre-mRNA. The region of the MBNL1 gene that includes exon 5 and flanking intronic sequence is highly conserved...
