Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the splicing machinery have been implicated in a number of human diseases. Most notably, the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) component SF3b1 has been found to be frequently mutated in blood cancers such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). SF3b1 is a highly conserved HEAT repeat (HR)-containing protein and most of these blood cancer mutations cluster in a hot spot located in HR4-8....
