Abstract excerpt
The accurate biogenesis of RNA-protein complexes is a key aspect of eukaryotic cells. Defects in Sm protein complex binding to snRNAs are known to reduce levels of snRNAs, suggesting an unknown quality control system for small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) assembly. snRNA quality control may also be relevant in spinal muscular atrophy, which is caused by defects in the survival motor neuron (SMN)1 gene, an...
