Abstract excerpt
Steinert disease, or myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), is a multisystemic disorder caused by toxic noncoding CUG repeat transcripts, leading to altered levels of two RNA binding factors, MBNL1 and CELF1. The contribution of CELF1 to DM1 phenotypes is controversial. Here, we show that the Drosophila CELF1 family member, Bru-3, contributes to pathogenic muscle defects observed in a Drosophila model of DM1. Bru-3...
