Improvement of SMN2 Pre-mRNA Processing Mediated by Exon-Specific U1 Small Nuclear RNA
31 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Exon-specific U1 snRNAs (ExSpe U1s) are modified U1 snRNAs that interact with intronic sequences downstream of the 5' splice site (ss) by complementarity. This process restores exon skipping caused by different types of mutation. We have investigated the molecular mechanism and activity of these molecules in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetic neuromuscular disease where a silent exonic transition on the...
