SMN Is Essential for the Biogenesis of U7 Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein and 3′-End Formation of Histone mRNAs
1 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a deficiency in the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. SMN mediates the assembly of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and possibly other RNPs. Here, we investigated SMN requirement for the biogenesis and function of U7--an snRNP specialized in the 3'-end formation of replication-dependent histone mRNAs that normally are...
